Battery Technology
SCB’s solid-state battery technology represents a significant advancement in energy storage solutions. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries that use liquid electrolytes, SCB’s batteries employ solid materials, eliminating the risk of fires and thermal incidents even under extreme conditions. This technology achieves a 50% better environmental performance compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries by avoiding critical raw materials.
The batteries demonstrate exceptional durability, lasting up to ten times longer than conventional alternatives. This extended lifespan significantly reduces waste and resource consumption while maintaining consistent performance throughout the battery’s life cycle. The technology allows for complete discharge without damage and operates efficiently across various temperature ranges, making it suitable for diverse applications.
SCB’s production process adapts established manufacturing methods from liquid electrolyte batteries to solid-state technology, reducing implementation risks and improving cost-effectiveness. The batteries are designed for both residential energy storage and industrial applications, offering flexible solutions for various energy needs.
