A world leader in advanced battery technology has unveiled a cutting-edge prototype lithium-ion battery, with eye watering performance. Claimed statistics include a 3-minute hyper- fast charge, ability to function at high and low temperatures, and non-flammable chemistry. If this advanced lithium-ion prototype gets to market, it might just change the rules of the game.
Blistering Performance From Advanced Lithium-Ion Prototype
News of Prieto’s break-through appeared in Yahoo Business Wire on May 22, 2023. Being able to operate and charge between -30 C and + 100 C sounds solid, especially as the performance was validated by an independent battery-testing laboratory, but there is more to come.
“Prieto’s battery will charge faster than you can fill your car’s gas tank,” said Mike Rosenberg, Prieto CEO proudly to media. “When you recharge your car faster than gassing up, range is no longer a hindrance. And everyone becomes a potential EV buyer.”
This remarkable performance is down to Prieto’s advanced lithium-ion 3D architecture. Actual statistics are 3 minutes to full charge, and a 50% charge in 90 seconds regardless of size. “A three-minute charge fundamentally changes how companies design their products, and how consumers use them,” adds Rosenberg, pressing the point.
Could This Be The Safe, Non-Flammable Answer?
Lithium-ion battery fires are big news, especially in New York nowadays. So the independent laboratory subjected the prototype to the ‘nail penetration test’, which it passed with flying colors.
Is This the World’s First 3d Inter-Digitated Battery?
The Prieto CEO explains today’s commercial batteries use decades-old 2D architecture. And how this obliges designers to compromise between energy storage, and fast charging. Whereas his company’s advanced 3D lithium-ion battery does away with the restriction that energy can only flow in one direction, across a two-dimensional plane.
“The core of our battery looks like a thin copper sponge,” the CEO explains proudly. “And so the ions only have to travel from one strand to the next. This is a fraction of the distance in traditional 2D batteries.” Could this invention revolutionize the market?
