Our Solution

Battery Platform

The Ambri battery platform is a ready-to-install DC containerized system, complete with shelves of cells, thermal management, weatherproof outer enclosure, and a battery management system (BMS) for applications that require high energy capacity, frequent cycling, long life and high efficiency.

Cells are assembled onto trays and connected within a thermal enclosure to form a MWh-scale system, which is then coupled to the grid using standard industrial DC-AC bi-directional inverters. The system is insulated and “self-heating” when cycled daily, requiring no external heating/cooling to keep the batteries at operating temperature. Multiple systems are placed together on site are connected in parallel in a daisy chain fashion, eliminating costly trenching and cable runs, enabling unlimited upward scalability for large-scale projects.

Our Chemistry

Ambri Advantage

Ambri’s Liquid Metal^TM battery technology solves the world’s biggest energy problems – fundamentally changing the way power grids operate by increasing the contribution from renewable resources and reducing the need to build traditional power plants.

Lower Cost

Ambri cells utilize commonly available electrode materials that cost significantly less than those in lithium-ion cells. The manufacturing of Ambri cells is far simpler and requires less capital per MWh of production than lithium-ion. Furthermore, Ambri-based systems do not require the extensive cooling, fire suppression or explosion prevention equipment as lithium-ion systems require. For these reasons, long duration Ambri-based battery systems are a fraction of the cost of lithium-ion when comparing 20-year, long duration systems.

20 - Year Life

Expect tens of thousands of cycles and decades of operation without the degradation experienced by other battery chemistries.

Modular Design

On site installation of pre-fabricated Ambri-based systems are more rapidly deployed than today’s energy storage technologies that require on-site system assembly. For GWh-sized deployments, Ambri-based 1-MWh systems are modular and scalable to meet demand.

Safe & Reliable

Ambri battery cells are highly tolerant of over-charging or over-discharging, and are not subject to thermal runaway, electrolyte decomposition, or electrolyte off-gassing, each of which could lead to significant safety events with other cell chemistries.

Recyclable

Ambri batteries are responsibly produced and their materials can be reused. Ambri systems are made with commonly available and low toxicity materials that are easily recyclable.
