SuperBattery Featuring 15-Second Charge - Skeleton & KIT

Germany

 SuperBattery is designed to be fully charged in just 15 seconds and has a huge potential in the application field of electric vehicles (EV).

This energy storage system is actually a hybrid of an ultracapacitor (or supercapacitor) and a lithium-ion battery. Furthermore, the ultracapacitor will be made with “Curved Graphene”, which is a patented carbon material developed by Skeleton.

The startup claims that the hybrid design is highly beneficial for EVs because the battery and the ultracapacitor complement each other by combining their strengths and mitigating the other’s weaknesses.
