The exact amount of CO2 savings will depend on a number of factors. These include the type and weight of the vehicle, its standard emissions, and the annual mileage. For example: For a typical SUV: Weight with traditional SLI battery: 2440kg; emissions 219g per kilometre Weight with UBC SLI battery: 2425kg; emissions 217g per kilometre.…

UBC batteries are typical OEM automotive standard, just lighter, more energy-dense and smaller. They can be sold to all OEM automotive, aerospace and other vehicle manufacturers, as well as for aftermarket replacement.

The majority of batteries for Electric Vehicle (EV) propulsion are Li-ion, with Toyota and other Japanese OEMs being the exception as they use Nickel Metal Hydride for EV propulsion.

Li-ion batteries are currently primarily used for propulsion, and there are only a few Li-ion batteries used for SLI (Starting, Lighting and Ignition). This is because Li-ion does not have the cold cranking amps at low temperature (‘grunt’) to turn over an engine and start the vehicle. Note: Some vehicles have two batteries: lead-acid for…

Amongst many benefits, UBC Duophasic batteries have been specifically designed and engineered to be reverse-manufactured at end of life with an estimated 95% of the materials recovered to create new batteries. Over 95% of the lead in current batteries has been recycled for many years. UBC manufacturing is a straightforward process requiring less than half…

Approximately 100 million starter batteries are fitted by OEMs every year. This is the largest energy storage market of all. ICE vehicles will be continue to be made in significant numbers for the next 10 years, including hybrid vehicles. There is also an urgent need for lightweight starter batteries to accommodate a growing array of…

UBC Duophasic technology is a breakthrough meta-technology. The patented architecture and principal materials can be successfully used in all future energy storage solutions, as well as being utilised using other chemistries. Nothing UBC and our key partners can foresee makes the technology obsolete.

Due to their modular format, UBC batteries can be easily scaled in both voltage and capacity. By connecting UBC Duophasic modular batteries in series we are able to scale voltage. For example, by connecting 4x 12V modules in series to generate 48V. We can also increase amp hours (Ah) capacity by connecting multiple battery modules…

UBC Duophasic batteries are maintenance free. The unique modular design also makes repair and replacement easier.

UBC Duophasic COR batteries are typically 12-15kg (26-33lbs) lighter than traditional starter batteries with comparable energy output. UBC Duophasic COR batteries are based on a unique modular design, which allows the adaptation of the battery’s form factor to make effective use of space for challenging applications.

They can solve the problem of energy storage. On sunny and windy days, renewable energy sources produce more energy than is needed. UBC Duophasic STOR batteries can store the excess. This can then be released when there is no sun or wind. This helps to overcome the objection to renewables, that you can’t be sure…

That’s our goal. We are working on developing the technology that make owning an electric vehicle as easy and simple as possible with longer range and faster charging times.

In our Innovation Hub we are looking at the next generation of EV powertrains to give longer range and faster charging times and to even out demands on the electrical infrastructure. If everyone today had an EV and tried to recharge it between 5pm and 7pm, it is very likely that the electric grid would…

Simply by reducing the weight of the battery. This reduces vehicle weight, and therefore lowers the amount of carbon emissions produced.

No. We supply automotive manufacturers only at this stage.

Environmentally, lead is better. It is easier to recycle and easier to produce. Lithium batteries use lithium ore which must be mined and large amounts of water are used in the production process. Lithium batteries are difficult to recycle because of the toxic chemicals they contain. Because lithium battery cells have to be electronically controlled…

Hydrogen is not energy efficient – it uses 3 times more energy to make than it releases. There are also storage considerations. Hydrogen has to be kept at supercool temperatures at enormous pressure. Hydrogen is also highly explosive.

Every electric vehicle uses a 12-volt auxiliary battery to power the electrical systems and traction battery management. These are simpler, cheaper, maintenance free, and safer than the 400V or 800V powertrain batteries that power the vehicle.

SLI stands for starting, lighting, ignition. This is typically a 12-volt battery that powers all the vehicle’s on-board electronic systems. These need to be run all the time. SLI batteries provide an immediate power boost.
