K2’s latest energy storage devices K2B12V7 and K2B12V10 are 12 volts and 6.4 Ahr/9.6 Ahr batteries respectively are targeted for use in the medical, military and industrial fields and are also suitable for consumer applications ranging from portable yard equipment like lawn trimmers, to recreational equipment such as electric bikes and scooters.
The company said that the two new batteries weigh two and three pounds respectively and contain no hazardous heavy metals or dangerous chemicals, making them environment friendly.
The company further claimed that results show the batteries charge faster and last three to five times longer than conventional batteries, and hold their charge even after being in storage for long periods of time.
David Anderson, business development manager of K2 Energy, said: “From the beginning, our intent was to create an entirely new source of energy that could be used for a variety of commercial uses, as well as everyday consumer products.
“The finished products are completely backward compatible with the standard 12V 7Ahr lead acid battery; our batteries don’t even require you to use a different charger. The onboard embedded microprocessor protects the battery as well as the end user from inadvertently damaging the battery. There is no question that these products will have a significant impact on the way manufacturers design their products in the future.”
