What is Carbon Technology?
Our Carbon Battery Technology is an AGM style battery that utilizes carbon in place of lead or zinc for both the plates and the electrolyte.
An inherent problem with most battery technologies is sulfur build-up, which lowers capacity and shortens battery life. Lithium batteries solved this issue, but created other issues like high cost, instability, fire risk, and negative environmental impact.
By using carbon in place of lead or zinc, we create a surface that sulfur cannot stick to. The result is a maintenance free battery that lasts 10+ years, without costing more than a traditional battery. It is also stable, 100% recyclable, and low impact to the environment to produce.
How Carbon Batteries Will Benefit You
Carbon batteries can be used in small backup applications such as a single well pump, or scaled to larger needs, like full off-grid living. From 2v to 12v cells, we have a battery for any need.
Carbon batteries are a stable, long lasting, maintenance free battery. You can set them and forget them, and breathe easy knowing your system will be reliably and safely providing power for years to come.
Even though carbon boasts many benefits, you won’t need to empty your wallet. Carbon batteries cost around the same as a traditional AGM, which is around half the cost of Lithium.
See below how carbon batteries compare to other common energy storage battery types.
