Core Component

Proprietary Battery Stack Technology

The battery stack is the core electrochemical unit — composed of multiple single cells responsible for converting electrical energy to chemical energy and back. Stack size determines system power; electrolyte volume determines energy.

  • Rated current density up to 150 mA/cm² for high-power applications
  • Overload capability: 1.1× rated power, stable operation ≥10 min
  • DC conversion efficiency ≥80% across all stack models
  • Available from 5kW to 128kW per stack; paralleled for MW-scale
  • Internationally leading patent technology for high-activity electrodes
