LiGas is a liquefied gas electrolyte with high electrical conductivity and low viscosity, enhancing battery performance in extreme environments from -60°C to +60°C. If a battery cell is damaged or punctured, LiGas burns off immediately, virtually eliminating thermal propagation and significantly reducing the risk of thermal runaway and fires.
