Under a previous contract with CERDEC, PolyPlus developed Li-Air batteries that delivered 800 Wh/kg in independent tests at the U.S. Army CERDEC laboratories at APG. Army scientists claimed that this was the highest specific energy they’ve ever seen for an electrochemical device. Incorporation of these lightweight batteries into a pack, and confirmation of their performance, represents a large step in technical risk reduction. “This is a major step in the development of the aqueous lithium-air technology,” said Steve Visco, CEO and CTO. “The successful demonstration of Li-air cells in battery packs shows that they can provide a real service to the U.S. military and anyone else with a critical need for lightweight, portable energy.” The Li-Air batteries were built with PolyPlus’ semi-automated pilot line located in Berkeley, CA. Optimization of the pilot manufacturing process was funded by a grant provided by the Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office. ABOUT POLYPLUS BATTERY COMPANY PolyPlus Battery Company is headquartered in Berkeley, CA, and has been in continuous operation since 1991. PolyPlus is a world leader in the development of next-generation battery technology. The Company invented and patented the protected lithium electrode (PLE) which is a core technology for lithium-sulfur, lithium-air, and lithium water batteries. PolyPlus has a world-class team of scientists and engineers and a rich pool of intellectual property totaling more than 135 issued and 40 pending patents. The PLE was recognized by TIME magazine as one of the 50 Best Inventions of 2011, and by the Edison Committee with a Gold Edison Award in 2012. www.polyplus.com ## #PDF Image | Li-Seawater batteries

Product and Development Focus for Salgenx
Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system. Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications. We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery. One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power. In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our flow battery manufacturing.CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@salgenx.com (Standard Web Page)
