About:Energy modelling drives critical derisking and confidence for MP Space in satellite power system development
About:Energy partnered with MP Space to accelerate the development of next generation satellite power systems. Using The Voltt, MP Space selected the right battery cell virtually, benchmarked multiple options against real mission profiles, and integrated validated lifetime data into MATLAB Simulink models. The result was lower technical risk, faster decision making and earlier adoption of high performance cell technology.

Molicel P50B vs P45B: Key Battery Performance Differences
The Molicel P50B packs 11% more capacity than the P45B into the same 21700 form factor. At pack level, that translates to lower operating currents, better thermal headroom, and up to 50% longer cycle life in our testing. But is it a straightforward drop-in replacement? We ran both cells through electrical, 2D thermal, and degradation models to find out.
