The CEO of Gridtential Energy, John Barton, said “We believe that silicon joule advanced lead battery technology is a perfect fit for the Indian market, offering a high-performance, low-cost solution. We are excited by the opportunity to show that our advanced lead technology offers superior price-performance and confidence that this will prove to be a successful platform for Amara Raja.”

The Amara Raja Batteries Limited, Vice President and MD Jayadev Galla, said, “The unique silicon joule bipolar technology from Gridtential holds significant potential to deliver enhanced value to our customers. And importantly, Gridtential helps meet our environmental commitment based on lead battery recyclability greater than 99%.”

The technology lets the development of the highly effective advanced batteries by using the patented silicon joule bipolar technology which comes with much wider temperature range and 40% lighter in weight as compared to the conventional batteries.

Last year, Amara Raja installed EV battery charging and swapping stations and also introduced a fleet of e-Autos in Tirupati. The launch of this initiative was with collaboration with the Tirupati Municipal Corporation as part of its smart city program.
