The facility, part of Stryten Energy’s new corporate headquarters, includes dedicated space for testing lead, lithium and vanadium batteries and materials.

Alpharetta, Ga., August 28, 2024 –Stryten Energy LLC, a U.S.-based energy storage solutions provider, added to its in-house battery testing and analysis capabilities with a new laboratory space. The opening of the battery lab was commemorated with a ribbon-cutting celebration on August 26 at Stryten Energy’s new corporate headquarters. The event was attended by staff members from the offices of Senator Jon Ossoff, Senator Raphael Warnock, Representative Rich McCormick, Representative Andrew Clyde and local community leaders. Attendees toured the new battery lab and the onsite working solar plus energy storage microgrid.

A proclamation from Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones in recognition of the celebration stated, “Through innovative projects, Stryten Energy is helping shape the future of energy storage technology in Georgia that will be important on a national scale for U.S. energy independence and security. Stryten Energy forging a brighter future for economic development in Georgia and fulfilling a shared commitment to innovation and growth, harnessing collective talents for the prosperity of the state of Georgia.”   

“For the U.S. to achieve long-term energy resiliency and energy security, we’ll need a range of solutions across battery chemistries,” said Mike Judd, CEO and President of Stryten Energy. “We need to put battery materials through their paces, to stress test lead and lithium batteries and achieve market readiness for newer chemistries such as vanadium. With this expanded lab, we’ll be able to collaborate with new and existing customers to find additional applications for these chemistries, as well as strengthen existing ones.”

The lab will support Stryten Energy’s engineering, research and development, and quality assurance departments, as well as manufacturing facilities, in new product development, technology evaluations, warranty investigations and root cause analysis. The expanded facility has three vital parts:

• • The Corporate Materials Lab performs tests on various battery materials, including electrolyte, polypropylene, lead and lead alloys. These materials are utilized in automotive, heavy-duty commercial, industrial, lithium and vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB).
  • The Lead Battery Test Lab performs electrical performance and teardown testing on automotive, industrial and heavy-duty commercial batteries, including enhanced flooded (EFB), conventional flooded, and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries.
  • The Lithium Battery Test Lab, the newest addition to the lab, focuses on conducting non-destructive functional charge/discharge, environmental and UL-related testing on lithium battery products.

As Georgia continues to attract clean energy innovators, the new lab will serve as a model to other local energy technology companies – further strengthening the state’s claim as one of the key power players in the sector.
