Valence Technology, Inc. (VLNC) is scheduled to unveil the next era of large-format, lithium-ion battery technology at The International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exposition (EVS-23). The exposition will begin this Sunday at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

This new technology, entitled ‘Epoch Batteries,’ signals a new beginning for phosphate-based lithium-ion battery systems. Valence Technology believes that Epoch Battery technology provides a safer, longer lasting, and more intelligent solutions then those batteries utilized today. Epoch batteries are equipped with an advanced management system that can monitor and adjust cell performance; thus, the battery packs will always operate at their optimum performance capacity.

Robert L. Kanode, CEO of Valence, specified, “By definition, ‘epoch’ means a period marked by radical changes and new developments. That was our goal with this new suite of products — to provide the industry with a new level of power storage that changes the way customers approach the design and deployment of electric powered vehicles. Moreover, we wanted the Epoch brand to be more than a concept, so we made sure Valence had the sourcing capability, manufacturing capacity and start-to-finish infrastructure to produce systems now and in the future in commercial quantities.”
