Note: only the cells and modules are developed with our partners. All other battery components are designed and produced by Renault. A guarantee of quality to meet your requirements.
how does an electric battery work?
The lithium-ion battery is a component that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. This happens as a result of a chemical reaction that takes place between 2 electrodes - one positive (the cathode) and the other negative (the anode), all immersed in an electrolyte.
When the battery powers your car, the accumulated electrons are released in a constant flux of energy through the vehicle’s circuitry between the anode and the cathode to power the electric motor.
Conversely, when the battery recovers energy transmitted by the charger or through regenerative braking, the electrons return to their initial position.
