Q & A stand higher temperatures and are not prone to thermal runaway . Dragonfly Energy also uses cylindrical cells with a burst valve that prevents thermal runaway .
We offer a proprietary Battery Management System that ensures the battery and user are protected during unexpected events such as short circuits , low voltage disconnects , and extreme temperatures .
OPE +: What is the near future of lithiumion as an energy source , other options ? Dragonfly Energy : The future of lithiumion batteries is incredibly promising , particularly for outdoor power equipment . We ’ re witnessing rapid advancements in energy density , power output and lifespan . Beyond lithium-ion , we ’ re exploring various chemistries like solid-state and sodium-ion batteries , which hold the potential for even greater energy storage and
safety . However , the optimal technology for outdoor power equipment will depend on factors such as cost , performance and environmental impact . Stryten Energy : As lithium-ion batteries become increasingly important , it ’ s crucial for domestic recyclers to demonstrate that their operations are effective and sustainable . Equally important is the development of a robust domestic lithium supply chain . Currently , most lithium batteries are produced abroad . By establishing a strong domestic supply chain , we can reduce reliance on imports and enhance lithium manufacturing with locally sourced materials . This shift toward energy independence and control over critical materials will strengthen the U . S . supply chain . The lead battery industry provides a valuable model for other battery technologies , showcasing how to responsibly use , recycle , and remanufacture materials . The U . S . is a major player in the production of lead , and North American battery recyclers satisfy over 80 % of the lead demand , helping to minimize supply chain disruptions .
OPE +: Outdoor power equipment is leading the way in the electrification of consumer power . How are you helping this industry and companies like Stihl , Echo , Husqvarna , Toro , and others ? Dragonfly Energy : This partnership with Stryten Energy is a major step forward for the industry and consumer brands in the outdoor power equipment space . It will allow easier access to quality lithium batteries for these products , giving manufacturers an American-branded power solution that ultimately provides a superior experience for their customers .
