PolyJoule batteries are completely manufactured in North America and do not require special hazmat certifications for land, sea, or air transportation
Fremont, CA: Energy storage is a critical tool for enabling effective renewable energy integration as well as unlocking the advantages of solar and wind power for emerging markets.
PolyJoule, a developer of Ultra-Safe, non-metallic energy storage, has announced manufacturing validation of its Conductive Polymer Battery Technology after a 10,000+ cell manufacturing run. The new batteries, which are based on PolyJoule's proprietary conductive polymers and other organic, non-metallic materials, are intended for stationary power applications where safety, levelized costs, lifetime, and environmental footprints are important decision drivers.
The PolyJoule Power Cell, the first-generation cell release, is well suited for mission-critical power applications in the utility and commercial/industrial sectors, including frequency regulation, power conditioning, peak shaving, hybrid power energy storage, as well as high-power datacenter backup. The most recent production run was driven by commercial market demand and product integration. PolyJoule expects to announce relevant third-party performance testing and UL certification in the coming months as commercialization activity accelerates. PolyJoule batteries are completely manufactured in North America and do not require special hazmat certifications for land, sea, or air transportation.

Because of their no-HVAC thermal management design, PolyJoule's conductive polymer cells span the performance curve between traditional lead-acid batteries and modern lithium-ion cells, extending service life and lowering the balance of plant costs. The cells have been tested to perform 12,000 cycles at 100 percent depth of discharge. "We see ultra-safe energy storage as a long-term capital asset, rather than a short-term add-on trend in the surging renewables renaissance," Paster comments. "That means that any chemistry, at the cell-level build, must be fundamentally robust, safe, green, and cost-effective over its lifetime. For grid-level assets, time scales are measured in decades, not years."
