Where Silicon Joule Lead Batteries Outperform Lithium

January 18, 2017

Gridtential raised another $6M in investments. These funds will be used to target what CEO Chris Beekhuis described as the inevitable shift from 12V to 48V high-voltage systems in hybrid electric vehicles.

Gridtential’s Silicon Joule battery uses an advanced lead-acid design with a silicon substrate for higher energy density, longer cycle life, and deeper depth-of-discharge. He described two areas where Silicon Joule lead batteries outperform lithium.
