Filing Marks Step Toward Safer Devices, Vehicles, and Energy Systems

X-BATT today announced it has filed a U.S. patent application covering new materials and designs aimed at improving the safety of lithium-ion batteries during assembly, transportation, operation, and storage. This innovation promotes safer and more resilient batteries in real-world conditions, ultimately focusing on lowering fire risk during deep discharge and extended storage, situations common in homes, vehicles, and warehouses.

From smartphones to EVs, lithium‑ion batteries are everywhere. Common scenarios including long-term storage, seasonal usage, transport, or delivery at low charge can introduce risk for consumers and businesses. X‑BATT’s new patent pending intellectual property is aimed at reducing those risks in everyday moments. These advances could also enable lithium‑ion battery deployment in settings where safety constraints have previously limited adoption.

“Our goal is simple: safer batteries for everyday life,” said Bill Easter, CEO of X‑BATT. “By improving safety in common situations like long‑term storage and deep discharge, we aim to give families, industry, and communities greater confidence in their devices and vehicles, and open the door to new applications where safety has been a barrier.”

The company C-BATT intends to integrate this new technology into future versions of its advanced anode material, Obsidia™, as a part of a strategy to deliver safer, high-performance, U.S.-based energy solutions. C-BATT, a joint venture between X-BATT and CONSOL Innovations, brings material science and domestic carbon resources to the forefront of battery innovations.
