OXIS Energy has successfully tested its Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery cell prototypes at 471Wh/kg and is confident of achieving 500Wh/kg in the next 12 months. It has already built what is potentially the largest Test Center in Europe for aircraft and vehicle manufacturers to test Li-S cells and battery systems safely.
