Ecoult has released its medium-scale version of UItraBattery, an industrial-strength lead-acid battery hybrid and ultracapacitor housed in a single cell with a common electrolyte. UltraFlex is the company's 25 kW medium-scale industrial, agricultural, off-grid and business solution.

According to the company, UltraFlex will change the way organisations manage and optimise the mix of energy they use through capturing, storing and releasing power symmetrically and quickly. This will enable them to integrate renewable energy and increase the reliability of grid systems and the efficiency of diesel generators for applications in the telecommunications, health, agriculture and tourism sectors.

The battery features high efficiency; symmetric high-rate charge and discharge; and extended longevity in partial state of charge. It is suitable for smoothing industrial and agricultural loads; optimising generator efficiency; and integrating intermittent renewable generation. The battery is said to be safe, sustainable and recyclable.
