The remarkable and unprecedented non-flammable qualities of Nanotech Energy’s graphene-powered batteries have been dramatically demonstrated in a new abuse test.

A graphene-powered 18650 lithium-ion battery cell from Nanotech was fired by a 4.5BRA bullet at a speed of 2,917 feet per second. Despite the ferocious force of the impact, the battery did not catch fire and even held a charge.

By contrast, a rival commercial 18650 battery fired by a 4.5BRA bullet at a velocity of 2,915 feet per second immediately burst into flames and ceased to hold a charge.

Dr. Jack Kavanaugh , CEO and President of Nanotech Energy, Inc., said, “In recent days and weeks, battery safety has been in the spotlight like never before. The recent apartment fire in New York is just one of many fires caused by traditional lithium-ion batteries. Battery technology is an important part of the energy future, but safety must be paramount as we become more dependent on it as a society. This is precisely why we are pioneers in safe battery solutions.”

The results of the new abuse test reinforce previous findings about Nanotech’s graphene-powered lithium-ion batteries. In the summer of 2022, they outperformed standard lithium-ion batteries in two more tests.
