Company Profile

Ballast Energy, Inc. is a startup based in Berkeley, California that is developing low-cost energy storage solutions. Ballast Energy, Inc. is pioneering a novel Li-ion electrode microstructure for next generation, low cost cells. The company’s innovative technology has allowed for development of cells built on electrodes with active material loadings 2-5 fold higher than the state of the art, reducing inactive materials costs, and enhancing manufacturability. First generation of cells are built on commercially proven cathode-anode chemistries that are engineered for maximum lifetime and safety, but the underlying technology can be applied across a multitude of Li-ion variants. These novel electrodes form the core of Ballast Energy’s low-cost, high-capacity prismatic Li-ion cel
