| Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc. (TESI) specializes in the production, research, and development of energy storage and energy production technologies with a focus on Radioisotope Thermal Generators (RTGs), Hydrogen Electrolysis Systems, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology, and Batteries.
TESI’s battery expertise is pack design, development and qualification for products used in harsh environments. Examples include cold weather packs for long-term arctic operations, pressure tolerant packs for subsea use, and packs designed for the extremes of space.
A key role TESI can play regarding new battery designs for a circular battery economy would be the development of cell joining techniques. Specifically, technologies that allow for removable/reworkable connections while still maintaining high-speed throughput and low impedance connection comparable to traditional resistance and laser welding techniques. We believe TESI is uniquely positioned to achieve a new technique based on our experience with creating reversible intermetallic bonds in our RTG products through ultrasonic welding.
We think that partnering with a group in the battery-powered vehicle space could allow for the creation of a new battery system. This system would maintain the cost/speed of production and electrical performance of a traditional design while enabling disassembly down to the cell level. This would allow for single cell repairs and a more efficient means of recycling. |
