Capable of thousands of full charge/discharge cycles without losing capacity, these Lithium batteries achieve vanishingly low internal resistance by substituting their proprietary Lithium Titanate nano-crystal material for the carbon anode used in first gen Li-Ion “laptop” batteries. The protective layer that keeps the carbon from reacting with the electrolyte (and exploding) is eliminated along with the instability issues. Nanosafe batteries currently power the all electric Phoenix SUTruck (130 mile range, 0-60 The ideal battery for PHEVs is being produced by Altair Nanotech (ALTI).
