Why GUS LTO Batteries are the Cheetahs of Energy Storage – Fast, Safe, Reliable

One thing should not be the solution to EVERYTHING. 

Executive Summary

In the world of energy storage, relying on the wrong battery technology can be a costly gamble. Modern lithium-ion batteries, originally designed for long-distance travel, are often ill-suited for applications requiring rapid power delivery and extreme safety. These batteries prioritize energy density at the expense of safety, leading to frequent and catastrophic failures, such as fires. The result? Compromised reliability and significant financial losses.

But what if there was a better solution? A battery that doesn’t just store energy but delivers high power, extreme safety, and longevity that demanding applications require. Enter Lithium Titanium Oxide (LTO) batteries—a technology built not for the open road but for the intense demands of industries where safety and reliability are paramount. Unlike the 'exploding horses' of traditional Li-ion technology, LTO batteries are the 'cheetahs' of the energy world: fast, powerful, and safe.

GUS Technology’s LTO batteries leverage unmatched power density, safety, and lifespan to create a solution that excels in critical moments across various industries. Whether it's powering industrial equipment, AGVs, or agricultural machinery, these batteries offer the reliability needed to keep operations running smoothly.

Let’s make sure your next step is with a cheetah, not a horse.

Status Quo

The energy storage market is currently underserved by existing Li-ion technologies. As the demand for reliable power solutions continues to grow, energy security and storage will become key strategic challenges.

Modern lithium-ion battery manufacturers have made a Faustian bargain by prioritizing higher energy density at the expense of safety. This trade-off has led to an increase in failures, with many incidents involving fires that are nearly impossible to extinguish. Beyond the physical damage to assets, these incidents severely impact reliability and result in significant financial losses.

The core issue with modern lithium batteries used in these applications is clear: they were designed for long-distance travel, not for the unique needs of high-power industrial applications. These batteries are over-engineered for energy density but fail to address the critical requirements of reliability, safety, and power.

High-power applications require a battery that may not store a lot of energy but can deliver a large power output in an instant. Standard NMC and LFP batteries are over-engineered for energy capacity and lack the necessary power output.

This raises an important question: Is there a proven battery technology that can generate high power without compromising safety? More specifically, is there an existing technology that has already demonstrated reliable performance under pressure?

LTO Batteries - Our Solution

The battery fire issue is fundamentally a chemistry problem. With the right chemistry, it's possible to develop a battery that offers both high power density and safety. At GUS, we believe that Lithium Titanium Oxide (LTO) provides the perfect solution.

If typical Li-ion batteries are like exploding horses, LTO batteries are like cheetahs. LTO batteries can run quickly and powerfully for a short time, without the risk of explosion. The requirements of high-power applications align perfectly with the capabilities of LTO technology:

A typical high-power application demands:
a. High power density
b. Extreme safety
c. High lifetime value

LTO batteries, with their low resistance, meet these demands:
a. High power density (7.2 C-rate discharge)
b. Extreme safety (no thermal runaway)
c. High lifetime value (10,000 life cycles or ten years)

The result is a power-focused battery with the longest lifetime value available in the market. With their high power density, users need fewer batteries per square foot to meet their needs.

The best part about this technology is that it is market-proven, with more than 10 years of successful usage. While this battery technology might not be ideal for consumer vehicles, LTO is perfectly suited for industrial and high-power applications.

LTO cells have a unique advantage over traditional car batteries.

Opportunity

GUS Technology wants to incorporate customer needs and requirements into our second-generation power battery products. GUS is looking for an opportunity to pilot a project on a development product. Instead of charging a development fee for a customized product, we’re looking to develop something that fits your specific needs on our own dime.

Action Items:

1. Schedule a Detailed Demonstration: Arrange a meeting to showcase the unique features of GUS’s LTO batteries, focusing on how they outperform traditional battery chemistries in industrial applications like AGVs, agricultural equipment, and trucking. Demonstrate the specific use cases relevant to the prospect’s operations.

2. Provide a Customized Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Analysis: Offer a tailored TCO analysis to highlight the long-term cost savings and performance benefits of switching to GUS batteries. Emphasize lower maintenance costs, longer lifespan, and superior safety features compared to traditional batteries.

3. Pilot Program Proposal: Propose a low-risk pilot program where the prospect can test GUS batteries in a controlled environment. This will allow them to experience the benefits firsthand without a full commitment, reducing the perceived risk of switching to a new technology.
