Rethinking Battery Storage for Next-Generation Efficiency

Session details:

Battery chemistries have traditionally been designed around maintaining stable, high voltages. With modern power electronics, this constraint is no longer necessary. This session explores how declining voltages can improve state-of-charge accuracy, why low-voltage high-capacity materials deserve renewed attention, and how parallel low-voltage cells can outperform common off-the-shelf solutions. We will also examine how low-voltage rechargeable cells pair naturally with energy harvesters such as piezoelectric, thermoelectric, and photovoltaic sources. Using Ten-Nine Technology’s TENIX(R) cathode material as a case study, we will highlight opportunities for custom battery solutions that offer greater capability and lower cost than conventional options.
