Carbon Foam Batteries
-
Rise in demand for renewable energy storage systems and electric vehicles has fueled the demand for batteries globally. Increased demand has resulted in a surge in investment on research & development for different types of battery compositions, electrodes, battery material, etc.
-
Carbon foam battery is result of such revolutionary research & development. A carbon foam battery comprises a carbon foam-based porous foam with thousands of open cells/pores.
-
The carbon foam battery works on microcell carbon foam technology, which delivers the best-in-class performance as compared to that offered by conventional lead acid and other premium batteries.
-
The carbon foam structure in the battery redistributes the small separator reservoir of a conventional battery to the pores of the active foam battery plates themselves. This increases the efficiency of the lead-acid chemistry, as each microcell is accompanied with sponge lead or lead dioxide and sulfuric acid electrolyte.
-
The carbon foam battery has four times longer lifespan as compared to flooded, gel, or absorbent glass mat batteries. The battery offers superior protection against corrosion and sulfation-related issues.
