High Performance Battery Packs Using Domestic Materials for Compact Off-Highway Machines

Under agreement EPC-25-028, the California Energy Commission will provide a $1,959,011 grant to Tyfast Energy Corp. to help fund the development of a high-performance battery pack using Tyfast's lithium vanadium oxide (LVO) technology that has been validated with third party testing to deliver high- rate charge and discharge, extended cycle life, and the ability to cycle below freezing temperatures. The goal of these efforts is to fabricate a battery pack to demonstrate the high-performance capabilities of the LVO technology to potential original equipment manufacturer customers developing off-highway compact equipment. Beneficiaries will include manufacturers of off-highway compact equipment who purchase the future technology, and those who buy and use such products, including ratepayers of the electric Investor-Owned Utilities in California.
