Offgrid Energy Labs Introduces Innovative ZincGel Battery Technology
#OffgridEnergyLabs #ZincGelBattery #EVBatterySwapping“We are here to reduce the dependency on Lithium-Ion battery packs and move to sustainable battery storage serving both the stationary as well as specific mobility applications. The demand for batteries is set to skyrocket soon not just in India, but across the globe.” - Rishi Srivastava, Co-founder, Offgrid Energy Labs
April 2022 : Offgrid Energy Labs, a young IIT Kanpur backed innovator and disruptor in the battery technology segment, has recently announced its innovative ZincGel Battery Technology to strengthen India’s EV battery swapping segment with sustainable batteries. The start-up will be targeting mobility partners to bring forth solutions for fleets operating low-powered electric vehicles like two-wheelers and three-wheelers. ZincGel Battery Technology, in comparison to lithium-ion and lead-acid material batteries, are non-flammable and reduce the damaging impact on the environment. Offgrid Energy Labs plans to commercially launch ZincGel products in India by next year.
“We are here to reduce the dependency on Lithium-Ion battery packs and move to sustainable battery storage serving both the stationary as well as specific mobility applications. The demand for batteries is set to skyrocket soon not just in India, but across the globe. What differentiates ZincGel technology is innovative chemistry, design and democratized materials. We look forward to announcing further strategic pilots that solve vexing problems in the energy storage space. For electric 3 Wheelers ZincGel will offer at least three times the life so that operators can reduce the frequency of battery replacement. Because of all these features, zinc gel is going to be cost efficient and safer than any other battery technology used in these applications.” says Rishi Srivastava, Co-founder, Offgrid Energy Labs.
“We are super-excited to tweak ZincGel for battery swapping application. We have designed ZincGel as a modular platform that can be modified basis application requirements. With the ability to prioritize between charging speed, temperature stability and energy density, our innovation is focused on addressing a wide variety of stationary & low powered mobility applications. Clearly, the amount of renewable energy that is being injected into the grid is increasing around the world. As a result, we require extremely powerful storage mechanisms to enable the power of renewables. This is where we would drive the new revolution by bringing ZincGel Battery Technology in priority stationary and mobility applications.” says Tejas Kusurkar, Co-founder & CEO, Offgrid Energy Labs.
Siddharth Mehta, Principal Shell Ventures, expressed his views, “India needs a robust energy storage mechanism to empower the capacity of renewables being injected into the framework. The demand of the hour is to revolutionise the battery technology for the efficient energy storage segment. Offgrid Energy Labs is engaging in this new energy storage ecosystem by inventing ZincGel battery that is meticulously designed to decarbonize and face the larger challenges which are being faced by several incumbents within the energy storage market. Enabling energy transition globally, ZincGel batteries are sustainable and democratizes materials that are recyclable and non- flammable. That is where we feel Offgrid Energy Lab's ZincGel based technology will make a significant contribution.”
