In a brand-new abuse test, the amazing and unheard-of non-flammable properties of Nanotech Energy’s graphene-powered batteries have been vividly illustrated.

A 4.5BRA bullet travelling at 2,917 feet per second shot an 18650 lithium-ion battery cell from Nanotech that was driven by graphene. The battery did not set on fire and even managed to maintain a charge despite the intense intensity of the hit.

In comparison, a competing commercial 18650 battery that was blasted by a 4.5BRA bullet travelling at a speed of 2,915 feet per second instantly caught fire and lost its ability to hold a charge.

Battery safety has received more attention lately than ever before, according to Dr. Jack Kavanaugh, CEO and President of Nanotech Energy, Inc. There have been numerous fires started by conventional lithium-ion batteries, including the most recent one in a New York apartment. Although battery technology will play a significant role in the future of energy, safety must come first as our societal reliance on it grows. We are industry leaders in safe battery solutions precisely because of this.
