Cells based on polycaibon flnorides are manufactured commercially in various forms. This system is developed by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. and is designed as a BR 435 eylindrical cell. New advanced cells constmcted by Nippon Steel Co. use carbon fibers as electrodes and are fonnd rechargeable batteries. Cells for military applications have been produced in the U.S. by Eagle Richer and by Yardney Electric. There are spiial-wonnd cyUndrical cells with a largest cell capacity of 5 A h.

A more advanced solution would require a better integration of capabilities of the battery and the ultracapacitor. Such single, integrated hybrid electrical device has been proposed and built using an advanced lithium-ion battery from Yardney Technical Products, Inc. and high performance ultracapacitors from Maxwell Technologies, Inc. for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration s (NASA) application. 

Yardney USA pioneered the development of this type of battery and are still the main suppliers. The original application was electric traction, and a number of road vehicles are now operating powered by Yardney experimental batteries. Further details of the Yardney traction battery assembled from 300A h units are supplied elsewhere in this book. In a typical vehicle set-up, 15 of these modules are assembled in series to yield a 28.8kWh energy content battery at a nominal 96 V.
