55Ah Single-Crystal NCM Pouch Cell – 2000 Cycles, 3C/5C Discharge for Battery Swapping & High-Performance E-Motorcycles

Product Overview – 55Ah Single-Crystal NCM Pouch Cell

PPCELL’s 55Ah single-crystal NCM pouch cell (Model P‑98F9S8) is a high-performance lithium-ion battery cell designed specifically for battery swapping systems and high-speed e-motorcycles. Leveraging advanced single-crystal 6-series NCM (LiNi₀.₆Co₀.₂Mn₀.₂O₂) cathode chemistry, this soft-pack cell delivers an industry-leading combination of energy density, cycle life, and power capability.

With a nominal voltage of 3.75V, 55Ah capacity, and 231.5Wh/kg gravimetric energy density, the P‑98F9S8 enables compact, lightweight battery packs without compromising range. The ultra-thin 9.8mm profile and 485Wh/L volumetric energy density make it ideal for space-constrained e-motorcycle designs. Single-crystal NCM technology provides superior structural stability compared to polycrystalline alternatives, preventing micro-cracking during cycling and ensuring consistent performance over thousands of cycles.

The cell supports 3C continuous discharge (165A) and 5C pulse discharge (275A), delivering the instantaneous power required for rapid acceleration and demanding riding conditions. Ultra-low internal resistance (≤1.0mΩ) minimizes heat generation during high-rate discharge, improving both efficiency and safety.

FAQ 

Q1: What is single-crystal NCM technology and why does it matter?

A: Single-crystal NCM cathode materials consist of individual crystalline particles rather than agglomerated polycrystalline structures. This eliminates internal grain boundaries that can cause micro-cracking during cycling, resulting in superior structural stability, longer cycle life, and better high-temperature performance. Single-crystal NCM 6-series cells typically achieve 80%+ capacity retention after 2000 cycles.

Q2: What is the difference between this 55Ah cell and the 40Ah/63Ah LFP versions?

A: This 55Ah cell uses single-crystal NCM chemistry, offering significantly higher energy density (231.5Wh/kg vs 164-170Wh/kg) and higher voltage (3.75V vs 3.2V), resulting in greater range per kilogram. It also features the thinnest profile (9.8mm) among the three for ultra-compact pack designs, making it ideal for performance-oriented e-motorcycles where range and weight are critical.

Q3: What is the discharge capability?

A: The cell supports 3C continuous discharge (165A) and 5C instantaneous pulse discharge (275A) – delivering the power needed for rapid acceleration, hill climbing, and high-speed cruising.

Q4: What is the expected cycle life?

A: The cell delivers 2000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge – significantly reducing replacement frequency for battery swapping networks and high-mileage e-motorcycle fleets.

Q5: What is the internal resistance and why does it matter?

A: The cell has ultra-low internal resistance (≤1.0mΩ), minimizing heat generation and power loss during high-rate discharge for improved efficiency and safety.

Q6: Is this cell suitable for battery swapping networks?

A: Yes. The 2000-cycle life, high energy density, lightweight soft-pack design, and 3C/5C discharge capability make it ideal for battery swapping networks where batteries are frequently handled, charged, and required to deliver consistent high performance.
