Charging Ahead ®
Founded in 2019 by the scientists who discovered our revolutionary, patented chemistry at Columbia University, XL Batteries is scaling the world’s lowest-cost, safest and most efficient long-duration energy storage solution. By combining proven flow battery architecture with proprietary organic chemistry, we have created battery technology that meets the unique needs of data centers, grid operators, independent power producers and heavy industry.
Since our founding, XL Batteries has attracted top talent from industry and academia to scale a low-cost, non-flammable grid-scale organic flow battery that can cost effectively enable a safe, stable, resilient and increasingly de-carbonized power grid and support the transition of power generation from fossil fuels to renewable sources.
Our pH neutral chemistry in flow battery architecture creates energy storage systems that are durable, reliable and inexpensive. We have successfully fielded a paid demonstration prototype that demonstrates XL technology can meet or exceed the performance of lithium-ion batteries in every grid-scale use case – including fast response – with lower cost, no flammability and over longer durations.
XL's Organic Flow Battery
Inexpensive
We are committed to making sustainable energy solutions cost competitive. By leveraging low-cost materials and processes, XL Batteries drives down the cost of flow batteries and long-duration energy storage.
Safe & Stable
Safety is non-negotiable. XL Batteries’ patented chemistry ensures that our organic flow batteries are inherently safe and stable, providing peace of mind to customers and the communities they serve.
Durable
XL organic flow batteries are designed and engineered to last 20+ years, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing environmental impact during operation and at end of life.
Scalable
Energy needs are not static. XL Batteries’ technology can scale seamlessly from industrial-scale applications to the largest energy storage projects worldwide.
