Stryten Energy has expanded its battery testing and analysis work with additional laboratory space at its head offices in the US state of Georgia.
The company said the new laboratory space will support its engineering, research and development, and quality assurance departments. The manufacturing facilities will also benefit product development, technology evaluations, warranty investigations and root cause analysis.
There are three parts to the expanded facility: battery materials testing (including electrolyte, polypropylene, lead and lead alloys), lead battery testing and lithium battery testing.
“For the US to achieve long-term energy resiliency and energy security, we’ll need a range of solutions across battery chemistries,” said Mike Judd, CEO and president of Stryten Energy.
“We need to put battery materials through their paces, to stress test lead and lithium batteries and achieve market readiness for newer chemistries such as vanadium. With this expanded lab, we’ll be able to collaborate with new and existing customers to find additional applications for these chemistries, as well as strengthen existing ones.”
