On December 6th 2022, Skeleton’ Technologies’ VP of Automotive and Business Development Dr. Sebastian Pohlmann presented at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC) in San Diego, California.
Founded over 20 years ago, the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference is the most important meeting place for battery technologists and the transportation industry including representatives from leading OEMs and battery developers such as Airbus, Amazon, Caterpillar, Daimler, Ford Motor, General Motors, Honda, John Deere, QuantumScape, Volvo, etc.
“While lithium-ion batteries have historically been the chief candidate for most xEV applications, some fundamental issues have remained. To impact the pace and path of vehicle electrification worldwide, we need additional energy storage solutions that go beyond lithium-ion batteries,” says Dr Pohlmann who talked about high-power energy storage devices.
His presentation "How to Charge in under 60 Seconds – SuperBattery Technology for Fast Charging" focused on Skeleton’s innovative technology that can charge >60 Wh/kg in under 60 seconds while being inherently safe– something that is extremely useful for high-utilization use cases such as mining haul trucks, mobile work machines and construction machinery.
Skeleton’s SuperBattery fills the technology gap between supercapacitors and batteries, offering a unique combination of power, safety, and lifetime for <30-minute applications.
The breakthrough product was developed to serve the needs of high-utilization sectors and is currently being considered for hybrid and fuel cell EVs, buses, trucks, and charging infrastructure, with ongoing product tests at customer sites.
