Kinetic India has started the manufacturing of its self-developed Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries at its Ahilya Nagar plant, followed by the first unit starting from today itself. The battery is developed by Range-X, which is the battery manufacturing company of Kinetic India. 

This battery is certified by AIS 156 standards, the battery will be initially used in the recently launched Kinetic DX electric scooter and will be extensively used in two and three-wheeled vehicles. The company states that the Range-X LFP batteries are developed to offer enhanced safety and longer battery life. 

The batteries are equipped with a smart Battery Management System (BMS), which helps to extract maximum performance and extend the life of batteries by ensuring greater efficiency. As per the company, the batteries provide a long life cycle of 2000-3000 charging cycles by ensuring effective thermal stability. 

The Vice Chairman of Kinetic India, Ajinkya Firodia, expressed his views on this and said, “These first batteries manufactured from our production facility is a testament to Range-X, as these batteries will be the core foundation of Kinetic DX electric scooter and the next range of electric scooters coming to India. 

By fulfilling the AIS 156 certification, Range-X has set a new milestone in battery standards by ensuring reliability, safety, and sustainability in every battery we manufacture.”
