"First battery company" (Pervaya Akkumulyatornaya Kompaniya®) became the partner of the Polish student team AGH Racing Team at international Formula Student competition Spain 2018. Team selection is associated with the development of car battery brands VOLAT
AGH Racing Team was founded in 2012 by a group of motoring enthusiasts from the faculty of mechanical engineering and robotics AGH. The project quickly became popular among students, and among the leadership of the Polish universities. AGH Racing Team was awarded as the best student project of the University of science and technology AGH 2013, best science club in KOnkursy KOnstrukcji Studenckich (KOKOS) in 2016. The project team is not the first year participate in various competitions in mechanical engineering and achieve success.

Today team AGH Racing Team will present their project at the international competition Formula Student — 2018, which have been designed and recreated the car with a simple to use and safe type of battery.
In the process of work on the car, it was decided to use as a battery VOLAT YT20L-4 iGel.
The choice is connected with the safety of helium battery and also can operate in case of overload acceleration, tormoenAI and the coup of the battery which does not require complicated control systems — BMS battery management system. VOLAT YT20L-4 iGel enables the car to quickly pick up speed, which is associated with a high current (240A). The simplicity of design and the possibility of a secure connection gelievyh batteries in series allows to obtain a higher voltage. In turn, a constant voltage without hesitation allows the use of batteries for the tests of electric motors in the laboratory.
