What is Jolt Energy Storage?

Jolt was founded by a team of passionate experts and researchers who have set out to revolutionize the field of energy storage. What began as research to make li-ion batteries safer has now given birth to energy storage materials that could change the way we store and transport energy across the grid.

What is jolt & NREL?

Jolt, which is developing organic energy storage materials for grid-storage applications, partnered with NREL’s testing support to make major advancements in the long-term stability and performance of its materials.

What is jolt battery technology?

Tom Guarr and Jack Johnson founded Jolt in 2015 working on shunts designed to stop overcharging in lithium ion batteries. Through that research we discovered we were halfway to a unique battery technology and pivoted in 2019 after recognizing the need of low cost, long duration storage.

Is jolt preparing a product for commercialization?

As Jolt graduates the GCxN program, it’s now turning toward a strategy to prepare a product for commercialization. Organic, grid-scale energy storage technology developing as vanadium alternative for redox flow batteries. Dr.

Why is jolt a good battery chemistry?

Jolt’s unique, patented materials offer a higher voltage and energy density at a much lower cost than existing flow battery chemistries or large-scale li-ion batteries. They also eliminate the reliance on rare earth metals mining and complex global supply chains enabling a secure, domestic energy storage solution.

What is Jolt's Energy density?

Jolt’s all-organic materials have achieved life cycle test exceeding 6,000 cycles and energy densities approaching 30 Wh/l. For context, this level of energy density is comparable to vanadium energy storage, a leading technology for grid-storage.
