What’s exciting about lithium-ion technology is it has the power to unlock the sun 24-7 to really help renewable energy power our future in a way that we haven’t been able to capture until now.

Dr. Whittingham
Nobel Laureate
The big advantage of this technology was that lithium-ion stored about 10 times as much energy as lead-acid or 5 times as much as nickel-cadmium, Lithium-ion batteries were also extremely lightweight and required little maintenance.
So there was a huge incentive to move to lithium-ion.
