Imergy Power Systems is on the verge of shipping the next generation of its 50-kilowatt batteries, made from recycled vanadium.
According to Gigaom Research:
After a decade of development, a $100 million in funding, and some twists and turns (including a name change), Silicon Valley startup Imergy Power Systems will soon start shipping the next generation of its batteries made from recycled vanadium. The 50-kilowatt battery will be available next month and can store up to 200 kilowatt hours of electricity, using vanadium recycled from mining and power combustion industries as well as environmental waste.
Bill Watkins, CEO of Imergy, said:
That’s the outrageous-sounding claim that we’re making. The battery lasts forever.
