NMC (battery)

The NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) batteries are widely used in electric vehicles due to their high energy density, which allows for greater driving range. Composed of approximately 33% nickel, manganese, and cobalt, these batteries offer rapid recharging, especially in cold climates, and better acceleration performance. Among their advantages is also a greater energy storage capacity (220-240 Wh/kg). However, they have significant disadvantages: the high cost due to expensive materials like cobalt and nickel, a shorter cycle life (800-2000 cycles), and safety risks related to thermal runaway, which increases the potential for fires or explosions. To prolong the lifespan of the batteries, manufacturers recommend charging NMC batteries only up to 80-90% for regular use.
