| Abstract | This project brings together two companies - Hyperdrive Innovation and Oxis Energy - who are the forefront of battery technology in the UK to explore the technical feasibility of a new generation of energy storage for use in extremely cold climates. This will be achieved by developing a low temperature electrolyte for Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) rechargeable battery chemistry, and chemistry-agnostic battery management system and packaging that can withstand and outperform the current lead-acid battery solution. British Antarctic Survey will act as subject matter experts to inform the development of a battery capable of operating in one of the harshest environments on the planet. Such a battery would allow British Antarctic Survey (BAS) to significantly increase autonomous scientific measurements made in the Antarctic, but without increasing transport costs or emissions. The resulting technology will lead to a follow-on mid-stage project to develop a high energy density rechargeable battery that can operate at -80 C for Antarctica survey organisations and several other crossover markets for energy storage and unmanned systems.This project brings together two companies - Hyperdrive Innovation and Oxis Energy - who are the forefront of battery technology in the UK to explore the technical feasibility of a new generation of energy storage for use in extremely cold climates.
