![]() Axion produced its first batch of PbC batteries in January 2007 and immediately put them into test protocols. According to the company, in comparison, most lead-acid batteries can only survive 300 to 500 deep discharge cycles.Īxion began small-scale production of niche market lead-acid batteries, including 16V race car and various collector car batteries, in May 2006 after making some minor site modifications and equipment upgrades. Axion’s lab prototypes have withstood more than 1,000 cycle charges and deep discharge cycles. In addition, the technology will service the more traditional deep-cycle markets, which refer to applications, such as solar, that use a high percentage of a battery’s stored energy uninterruptible power supply, or UPS, markets and telecommunications markets.Ī standard lead-acid battery takes up to eight hours to be fully charged, while the lead-carbon battery can be charged in 20% of that time. Each of these markets is seeking the very advantages Axion offers. The technology is intended to expand the markets for hybrid vehicles and solar and wind energy systems. ![]() According to the company, among the product advantages are: less lead higher power delivery rates faster recharge rates and longer life cycles than those achieved from current conventional lead acid batteries. The batteries are intended to expand the markets for hybrid vehicles and alternative energy systems, such as those fueled by wind or solar power.Īxion’s new lead-carbon technology is claimed to represent a major advance in lead-acid battery technology. announced its new patented lead-carbon (PbC) advanced batteries and energy storage product technology, which the company claims is the first major breakthrough in battery technology in more than 30 years.
