The 12V version can be used in either military or in commercial starting/deep cycle applications. Earlier this year, prototypes of the Ultanium 6T 12 volt battery underwent successful hot and cold weather testing on commercial Class 8 highway delivery trucks in a project funded by the US Army TARDEC and CALSTART.

MAY 28, 2014

Advanced lead-based batteries (AGM and EFB technologies) are installed to meet extra requirements in start-stop and basic- micro-hybrid vehicles, due to their increased charge recoverability and higher deep-cycle resistance. In these applications, they are currently the only technology available for the mass-market.

NOVEMBER 2, 2011

A team from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Tsinghua University (China) have synthesized graphene oxide-sulfur (GO-S) nanocomposite cathodes and applied them in lithium/sulfur cells to show a high reversible capacity of 950-1400 mAh g -1 and stable cycling for more than 50 deep cycles at 0.1C (1C = 1675 mA g -1 ).

Nonetheless, several technical challenges still limit its commercialization. The major problem of Si anodes is their drastic volume changes during deep cycling, which often leads to the severe pulverization, electrical contact loss, unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), and subsequent poor electrochemical cycling reversibility.
