Saft has won an order worth in excess of €3 million from Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for defence applications.
The BEL order covers an immediate requirement for a new application for Li-ion batteries. Working to a very challenging delivery lead time, over the six-month contract Saft will supply over 200,000 Li-ion cells to BEL as well as a number of fully integrated battery packs with protection electronics.
