prototype lithium ion batteries by first quarter 2015
Petaling jaya: by the first quarter of next year, Malaysia will produce lithium-ion battery prototypes for electric buses, cars and energy storage.
The project is the Automobile Research Institute of Malaysia (MAI)
The goal of transportation logistics company ARCA Corp. Sdn Bhd and Australia AutoCRC Co. , Ltd. and Swinburne Polytechnic University is to develop the most dynamic
MAI chief executive Madani Sahari says the market is very battery intensive.
\"There are only a handful of manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries worldwide.
We are currently working on producing prototypes for the local market and possibly exporting them.
\"However, we want to focus on producing batteries with high energy density,\" he told StarBiz . \".
Madani said the prototype battery will be used first for the prototype of the electric bus that ARCA is developing.
\"It is expected that the bus will start operating in 2015.
It is reported that the buses will begin operations in putraja and Langkawi in the first place.
The total investment of ARCA is said to have exceeded RM200mil in four years, and if the company is eligible for financial assistance, part of the investment may be provided by the government.
The next step, Madani said, is to \"increase\" the production of lithium-ion batteries.
\"Once we have successfully tested the prototype batteries, we want to produce them locally on a larger scale.
\"The cost will be higher --
More efficient than purchasing from other countries.
Madani also confirmed previous reports that a plant is planned to be built to produce lithium-ion batteries.
\"We haven\'t finalized whether to build a brand new factory or expand the existing one,\" he said . \".
The factory is part of the national automobile policy (
Announced on January)
Lower car prices by 2018, helping Malaysia become a regional energy market.
Efficient Vehicle Hub.
In modern lithium-ion and energy storage systems, the Battery Management System (BMS) plays a central role in ensuring safety, performance stability, and life cycle reliability. From residential ESS to commercial and industrial battery cabinets, the BMS serves as the “control brain” of the battery pack—monitoring operating conditions, coordinating charge and discharge behavior, and preventing failures that could lead to performance loss or safety events.
As the global energy storage industry moves towards a larger scale of deployment, the North American market has emerged as a key growth area for energy storage applications. It is driven by increasing renewable energy capacity and rising demand for grid resilience. Concurrently, industry regulatory standards are continuously being elevated, making thermal safety and fire protection compliance critical thresholds for project approval and delivery.
Winter storage of lithium batteries is a critical factor for maintaining performance and longevity. Exposure to freezing temperatures can temporarily reduce battery output, and in severe cases, cause irreversible damage. GSL ENERGY’s heating-enabled LiFePO₄ batteries, such as the 14.34kWh wall-mounted storage system, ensure safe and reliable operation in cold climates for residential, commercial, and industrial energy storage applications.
Against the backdrop of the global energy transition, the safety and efficiency of energy storage systems have become key metrics for evaluating brands. This article conducts an in-depth assessment of GSL ENERGY's energy storage batteries, comprehensively demonstrating its technological prowess and core value as a leading global provider of energy storage solutions. This evaluation is based on over 6,000 cycle lifetimes, modular seamless scalability, compatibility with major global inverters, and certifications to international standards such as UL9540.
