Axion is developing a platform technology for a new generation of lead-acid-carbon energy storage devices called e3 Supercells. The e3 Supercell technology replaces the lead-based negative electrodes found in conventional lead-acid batteries with nanoporous carbon electrodes. The result is a new class of hybrid energy storage device that offers a unique combination of battery and supercapacitor performance characteristics.
Axion believes e3 Supercells will offer a cost-effective alternative to conventional lead-acid batteries that will:
**Charge up to ten times faster;
**Offer three to four times as many charge/discharge cycles in deep discharge applications;
**Withstand repetitive 90% depth of discharge without significant loss of performance; and
**Require minimal maintenance.
Axion plans to develop e3 Supercells for:
**High performance energy storage systems for hybrid automobiles;
**Energy storage systems for other motive applications including industrial and transportation equipment;
**Uninterruptible power supplies and DC power systems; and
**Storage and buffering systems for grid-connected alternative and conventional power generation.
