More and more cordless equipment is becoming available across a broad range of consumer and industrial products. The battery technology used in these devices is lithium-ion (Li-ion), but it has a limited lifetime and carries significant safety and environmental risks throughout the product life cycle.
Thanks in part to EU funding, ZapGoCharger is “developing a radical solution for these cordless products – a new type of energy storage device that uses safe and recyclable materials that can sustain hundreds of thousands of charge/discharge cycles,” says project coordinator Simon Harris. “The device will be fast, safe and reliable.”
