Toshiba Corporation has announced the launch of its new SCiB lithium-ion battery module, designed specifically for electric buses, electric ships, and stationary power applications. The new module will be available globally starting mid-April 2025.
The standout feature of this battery module is its enhanced heat dissipation capability, which is double that of current modules. This improvement helps effectively manage heat during high-power charging and discharging, thereby extending the battery's operational life.
In its official statement, Toshiba said, "By adding new products to our module lineup, we are able to respond flexibly to diverse customer demands and application needs."
The key innovation in the Type4-23 module is the replacement of traditional resin materials with an aluminum baseplate, which offers better thermal conductivity. Since aluminum is a conductor of electricity, Toshiba developed a new design structure that ensures the necessary voltage resistance while enhancing thermal management.
Core features of SCiB technology remain intact — including safe operation, long service life, excellent performance in low temperatures, fast charging capabilities, and high input/output characteristics.
The battery will be certified under the UL1973 safety standard and includes integrated voltage measurement, temperature monitoring, cell balancing, and communication functions.
Toshiba’s SCiB batteries are already widely used in hybrid vehicles and industrial applications such as public transportation, construction machinery, rail systems, and logistics automation. The company emphasized its commitment to expanding its product portfolio, considering the entire lifecycle from installation to maintenance and disposal.
