Re: K2 Energy ‘vs’ Calb  
Comparing them for power applications:

K2 power cells: 44 s SDT  
K2 energy cells: 81 s SDT  
CALB cells: 163 s SDT

Therefore, for a given application, the K2 energy cells will be about twice as efficient as CALB cells and sag half as much, and the K2 power cells will be about 4 times as efficient as CALB cells and sag 1/4 as much.

K2 Energy Specs:

LFP 73AH Power Battery (1P)  
(28P of LFP26650P)  
AKA: LFP 300HPS  
6.61 lbs each 🙂

For 1800A sag = 2.3V  
For 1800A (268V sag voltage) = 116S (766 lbs)

Calb Specs

CAFI Series  
For 1800A 12C:  
40AH = (4P) 1920A (12 lbs)  
60AH = (2P) 1440A (8.8 lbs)  
100AH = (2P) 2400A (14.8 lbs)

Weight for 1800A (268V sag) voltage pack? most likely way over 1200lbs.

Facts I have confirmed with K2 Energy engineers:

When our batteries have plenty of state of charge in them, you won’t harm them by discharging at 1.6V (~3000Amps in our 73Ah module). As they get hot, it will reduce their cycle life…but it also helps with their discharge voltage level (being warmer raises the voltage).

For a 3000 A discharge, our 73Ah module will have a voltage of 1.6V. 2500A would put you at about 2.0V on one of our 73Ah modules.

A couple of graphs that should help. 2500 A out of a single 73Ah module translates to 89A per cell. At 50A, our power cells will sustain the ~2.4V level for roughly 2.25 minutes
