New company on #BayFarm island in #EastBay says they have created the “#NextGeneration” of #batteries that are safer than explosion prone #lithiumIon types and will revolutionize industries from small portable devices to #ElectricVehicles.

Many new #batteries use a liquid #lithium-ion core that can leak and combust, while #Alameda based #AnthroEnergy’s solid-state batteries use a patented technology to solidify the core. The developer claims the innovative tech creates a non-flammable, semi-solid battery with 35% more energy density than traditional batteries, and is resistant to leaking, warping and combustion.

They hope to get more investment into their #BayArea plant and begin production of half a million individual battery cells a year.
