Cummins supplying batteries for Altec’s Jobsite Energy Management System | Cummins Inc.
Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI), a global power leader, and Altec, a leading provider of products and services to the electric utility, telecommunications, tree care, lights and signs and contractor markets, announced that Cummins will supply batteries for Altec’s Jobsite Energy Management System...
This is how I became aware of them.
Don't see that they indicate LFP. They just say Lithium-ion, which generally refers to non-LFP chemistry. The datasheet I linked above indicates NMC chemistry, likely 12S at least on that 4.4kWh version. As @Supervstech indicated, they are likely not budget friendly.

A little more detail on the batteries
With the stated 44V I don’t see nmc or LFP being the chemistry... odd.
I suppose they could be rating them at 4V nominal... idk...
I have these very batteries! However, for the life of me, I can't figure out the best way to put them to work. Plus... I'm concerned about storing them in my home because of the chemistry. I'm brand new at this, so may just be over-precautious.
Check out my post regarding this subject: Battery Identification and Recommendations
These are the cells within:
I'ts difficult for me to say what their nominal is, but the writing on the pack says 3.7V. Although most of the cells in the packs I have are at 3.01V when I acquired them.
It appears they're arranged in 4 x 7/14p, but can only be placed in parallel or series with their custom buss bars and attachments (I've yet to figure this part out). I'm hesitant to dismantle the pack... but it seems like the only way to be sure.
By the way, It's taking me forever to get these things to a state of 4.0V charge... 3 days now on a charger for just 1/4 of 1 pack.
Any suggestions?
