South 8 Technologies’ core innovation is the LiGas electrolyte technology, which uses liquefied gas electrolytes stable under pressure and operable from -60°C to +60°C. It enhances safety by reducing fire risk, improves performance with faster charging and higher energy density, maintains temperature resilience in extreme conditions, and integrates with existing manufacturing via single-shot filling and rapid formation.
In 2024, secured strategic investment from Porsche Ventures; recognized in TIME’s Best Inventions 2024 (Green Energy); in 2025, awarded a $1.6 million U.S. Army contract to develop Arctic LiGas battery packs for military radios and night vision equipment.
