Axion completed a $1.2 Million grant to develop advanced lead acid batteries for Marine Corps and Navy vehicle applications. Axion is working to develop higher power starting batteries with better cold temperature performance based on Axion’s proprietary PbC Technology™. Axion is also working to develop higher energy and longer life deep-cycle batteries.
Design Features of Axion's PbC® Technology
|
Rapid Recharge |
PbC batteries are well suited to motive power applications where the lengthy recharge time required for conventional lead-acid batteries significantly reduces utilization rates. The same utilization advantage applies when comparing PbC batteries to lithium ion batteries because the lithium chemistry requires complicated systems for battery management, and for thermal management. |
|
Heavy-duty Design |
PbC batteries for motive power applications will be designed and built for maximum energy storage and very long useful lives. |
|
Minimal Maintenance |
Axion's PbC battery is a sealed unit and requires virtually no maintenance resulting in low operating costs. |
|
Sustainability |
Our new PbC battery can be recycled in existing lead acid battery recycling facilities. This allows the lead, plastic, and acid to be reused in new batteries. |
|
Manufacturability |
PbC batteries have been designed to be manufactured in any of the dozens of existing lead acid battery facilities in the US as well as the hundreds of others world wide. This eliminates the need for hundreds of millions of dollars in capital to build new advanced battery facilities in the US that do not currently exist. Since existing equipment will be utilized new investments will not be required to manufacture our products. | |
