Introduction

The VDA355 battery module has become one of the most widely adopted standardized battery module platforms in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. By standardizing the mechanical dimensions while allowing flexible electrical configurations, VDA355 enables battery manufacturers and OEMs to build scalable battery systems using different battery cell suppliers and capacities.

This database provides a comprehensive overview of the VDA355 battery cell platforms currently supported by LYTH, including compatible battery manufacturers, module configurations, electrical specifications, and typical applications. As new battery technologies emerge, this database will continue to be updated.

What is VDA355 Battery Cell Compatibility?

Battery cell compatibility refers to the ability to integrate different prismatic battery cells into the same VDA355 standardized module platform while maintaining consistent external dimensions and mechanical interfaces.

Instead of redesigning the module housing, manufacturers can select different battery cells and configure them into various series and parallel combinations to meet different voltage and capacity requirements.

Why Battery Cell Compatibility Matters

A standardized battery module platform offers significant engineering and manufacturing advantages.

Key benefits include:

• Standardized mechanical dimensions
• Simplified battery pack development
• Flexible voltage and capacity options
• Multi-supplier battery sourcing
• Easier maintenance and replacement
• Reduced engineering costs
• Faster OEM development cycles

Frequently Asked Questions

Can different battery cells use the same VDA355 module?

Yes. The VDA355 standard defines the external module dimensions rather than restricting manufacturers to a specific battery cell. As long as the battery cell dimensions and module architecture are compatible, different manufacturers’ cells can be integrated into the VDA355 platform.

Which battery cells does LYTH currently support?

LYTH currently provides VDA355 battery module solutions based on CALB 58Ah, EVE Energy 58Ah, REPT 117Ah, and REPT 177Ah prismatic NMC battery cells.

Which VDA355 configuration is the most common?

Traditional 1P12S and 2P6S configurations remain widely used in the automotive industry, while 1P6S has become increasingly popular with the adoption of higher-capacity battery cells.

Is VDA355 only suitable for electric vehicles?

No. Although originally developed for automotive applications, VDA355 battery modules are also widely used in AGVs, industrial equipment, marine systems, commercial EVs, and battery energy storage systems.
