Description

Everyone knows battery technologies evolve very slowly. The most antiquated is Lead-acid, which has been around for 150 years, while the newest, Lithium-ion, is already 15 years old by now. What has changed, however, is consumer behavior and the need for more mobile power. Additionally, today there is a greater emphasis on environmental friendliness, safety and of course, cost.Battery technology has not kept pace due largely in part to the challenges related to bringing a technology from R&D into the hands of customers. As a result, there is a chasm between what technologies can offer and what consumers need. But Valence Technology is changing that. As the only company in the battery industry to commercialize phosphates, we bring safe Lithium-ion power to both small- and large-format applications.Our phosphate-based Saphion® Lithium-ion technology is a break through battery chemistry for mobile computing and for large format applications such as back up power supplies and electric vehicles. Saphion® technology, is safe and stable. It delivers high cycle life, great energy density, no maintenance, superior rate capability and long service life. These characteristics make Saphion® technology suitable for not only the traditional Lithium-ion markets such as the consumer and computer industries, but also for emerging markets not currently served by Lithium-ion technology, such as the telecom, utility and motive markets. Saphion® technology offers the power of Lithium-ion with the safety, environmentally friendly and cost benefits of phosphates.
