Frequently Asked Questions

First commercialised in the 90’s in consumer electronics, the Lithium-Ion battery is a type of battery technology which utilises lithium as the core charge carrier for the battery. Lithium-ions are hosted in both the Cathode and Anode, depending upon if the battery is charged (Anode) or discharged (Cathode). Discharging a battery means that the lithium-ions move from the Anode, through a liquid medium known as the Electrolyte, across a Separator, which keeps the Anode and Cathode separated, across to the Cathode. During this process, the electrons (which cannot travel across the cell) are directed across the circuit.

Typically, anodes used today are primarily Carbon based, as are those used by DESTEN; with the cathode consisting of a Lithium Metal Oxide, which holds a special structure which allows the lithium ions to move in and out of the structure freely. DESTEN utilises a number of special nano-materials to enable lithium ions to move in and out of these structures quickly and efficiently, enabling long lifecycles, low heat build up, and very strong safety profiles.

Ultra-Fast Charging stands to change the way we drive, generate energy, manage our grids and even how we use personal electronics devices.

By cutting charging times to the single digit minute timescales, we make electric vehicles more acceptable for drivers and remove critical barriers like ‘Range Anxiety’ by making the addition of driving range a time efficient endeavour. For our energy systems, we enable a greater proportion of renewables to be added to the grid, as fast charging and discharging grid-scale battery capacity can ensure that grid infrastructures maintain a balance of demand and supply at all times; further, with growing energy needs and the growth of electric vehicles, battery storage helps to protect the grid from surging demand. Further, there are many novel applications which are enabled by fast charging and discharging like VTOL (Vertical Take off and Landing) Vehicles which require substantial power for take-off.

Energy Density is one of the most critical factors which have lead to the success of Lithium-ion battery technologies, driving their ubiquity across the world today.Other battery technologies retain lower densities, like Nickle-Metal Hydride, retaining around half the energy density of leading Lithium-ion technologies whilst also exhibiting lower lifecycle performance, another critical battery characteristic for many applications we use batteries for today.
The lifecycle performance of DESTEN’s cell technologies is rooted in the chemical stability of the cell alongside the careful refinement and deposition of our materials across the cell electrodes with the formation step, wherein cells are charged and discharged for the first time, playing a big role in ensuring the SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase) is appropriately developed. DESTEN’s cells exhibit market leading colombic efficiency which indicates all the lithium ions are travelling from one side to the other without side reactions nor stuck in ‘deadzones’ where ions are not able to make the journey across the cell, this efficiency is a key indicator of battery longevity.

DESTEN’s energy dense, long lasting, high power technologies provide a great degree of value for grid systems, enabling more power to be deployed more quickly, where its needed and when its needed; this is true on the other side, where grids need to allocate power as quickly as possible, DESTEN cells are able to accept this power quicker than others.

As we move towards a greater proportion of variable renewable energy generation in our grid systems, the need for rapid acceptance and provision of power becomes more important; this is compounded by our growing power needs as we switch away from polluting fossil fuel driven transportation, this flexibility and security of supply will become more critical still.

DESTEN’s cells are particularly resistant to shocks, damage, piercing, crushing and other high stress situations. Our cells have consistently outperformed industry safety testing which has found that the cells do not ignite or leak gasses under a broad range of circumstances; as such, you can be sure that EVs or Personal Electronic Devices which feature DESTEN technology will be very safe to use, despite incredible charging and discharging rates.
There are a numerous battery characteristics which must be taken into account when evaluating the applicability of a particular cell technology. DESTEN’s cells not only provide strong charge and discharge profiles, but also high energy density, long life cycles, industry competitive pricing, and stability. To have each aspect in abundance is critical, underperformance across any of these characteristics limits the applicability of the cell to meet the needs of users. In the case of EVs, be it driving safely or having enough capacity integrated in a car to achieve a desired range, a good battery technology is able to contribute to a well rounded and ICE comparable driving experience.

DESTEN Inc.’s 19Ah 10C Ultra-Fast Charging Lithium-Ion Cell reduces charging wait times to less than 5 minutes whilst retaining a long lifecycle of over 3,000 cycles – allowing for over 1.5 million miles of lifetime vehicle range for a 70kWh battery pack. This solution also paves the way for smaller capacity packs for EVs in urban environments, with 5-minute charging via established road-side charging infrastructures serving to overcome key adoption challenges pertaining to charging wait times and range anxiety.

With a temperature increase of only 15 degrees centigrade when charging at 10C, DESTEN’s cell technology’s outstanding thermal and chemical stability serves to reduce pack infrastructure needs, reduce power draw during operation, and improve the safety of the final system.
