Solid State Marine, US manufacturer of solid-state battery solutions for the maritime market has introduced its technology to the North American market.
Solid State Marine is the exclusive licensee for the technology for the marine industry in the US.
The research and development for the technology took more than ten years of testing and two years of field tests.
The patented technology uses a solid electrolyte to conduct lithium ions, reducing the distance between the cathode and anode and avoiding heavy and often volatile liquids or gels.
Solid State Marine batteries are safe to charge and operate down to -4 degrees F (-20 degrees C).
The batteries are interchangeable with existing battery footprints and can be charged with existing chargers.
The company is led by CEO, Tom Calef, a United States Coast Guard licensed captain with more than 30 years of marine experience.
Bringing a completely new battery technology to the market is no simple task.
