BioLargo completes preliminary internal testing of prototype battery cells

BioLargo announced that its subsidiary BioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc. completed preliminary internal testing of its prototype battery cells confirming many of the technology’s exceptional performance claims that make it an attractive battery technology for long duration energy storage. The tests, done to verify the battery’s performance claims made by its original inventors, confirmed the stability of the chemistry of the battery cell and the reliability of the component construction as a sealed, non-venting cell design with no self-discharging. The tests also helped verify the battery’s ability to quickly charge and discharge at a high voltage. Cellinity is BioLargo’s next-generation battery platform designed to provide a better alternative to lithium-ion technology for applications including grid-scale storage, renewable energy storage, charging stations for electric vehicles, and a variety of other commercial and industrial applications. Cellinity is safer, more sustainable, longer lasting, and more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries, traits that make it ideal for large-format long-duration energy storage applications. In addition to these internal tests, the company is also organizing third-party validation testing to be done on the more complex aspects of Cellinity’s electrochemical performance with at least two acclaimed testing facilities.
