Using a chemistry long embraced by the defense industry, three-year old ZapBatt has come up with a battery for e-bikes and other micromobility vehicles that can recharge in a few minutes and last decades.
But Welch and ZapBatt saw three significant positives in lithium-titanate that merely needed to be unlocked for specific purposes.
Third, since titanate is considered an inert chemistry the risk of a battery catching fire is remote.“It will never go into self-thermal runaway,” explained Welch. “You can hammer nails straight through it, short circuit it, you can do anything you want and it won't catch fire...because titanate, under any type of self-short will phase-change from a conductor to a resistor so it has its own safety mechanism.
Welch calls it a “software-enhanced battery” explaining, “Because lithium-titanate can move energy so quickly and efficiently, the software can tell it, say I'm on an e-bike ride, hey, I should have more efficient regenerative braking, I should have taken possibly a different route. It's like saying, when I'm out in the world I should actually be operating like this. Essentially the AI, is meant to, in the long term, empower batteries to teach us how to make them more efficient.
