Battery Technology
GBatteries’ primary innovation is their adaptive pulse charging technology, which differs significantly from traditional Constant Current, Constant Voltage (CCCV) methods. This proprietary system uses sophisticated algorithms to generate unique charge pulse profiles, delivered through specialized hardware at high frequency. The technology enables standard lithium-ion batteries to charge up to ten times faster without compromising their lifespan.
Their latest development includes advanced lithium-metal batteries, offering double the energy density of conventional lithium-ion cells. These batteries achieve energy densities exceeding 450 Wh/kg and 1000 Wh/L, representing a substantial improvement over current market standards. The system incorporates an intelligent battery management system that monitors and optimizes performance throughout the charging cycle, ensuring both safety and efficiency.
The company has accumulated over 50 billion data points through nine years of research and development, resulting in 60+ patents. Their technology integrates seamlessly with existing battery manufacturing processes, making it cost-effective to implement while maintaining high performance standards.
Recent Projects
In the past year, GBatteries has expanded its collaboration with automotive manufacturers to integrate its charging technology into electric vehicles. The company demonstrated successful implementation in various consumer products, including Xiaomi scooters and Dewalt power tools. They’re currently scaling their technology for higher voltage and capacity battery packs, specifically targeting electric vehicle applications.
Investors
GBatteries has secured backing from prominent investors in the technology and transportation sectors, including Airbus Ventures, Initialized Capital, and Y Combinator (W14 cohort). Additional investors include Plug and Play, SV Angel, and Natural Resources Canada, which provided a $3 million grant.
