Gridtential Energy Receives 2018 Sally Breidegam Miksiewicz Innovation Award

Gridtential Energy has been awarded the 2018 Sally Breidegam Miksiewicz Innovation Award. Battery Council International (BCI) annually presents this award to celebrate innovation in equipment, processes, services and products that advance the lead battery industry. The award was established to honor industry thought leader, Sally Breidegam Miksiewicz, former CEO of East Penn Manufacturing Co.

Gridtential’s breakthrough Silicon Joule® battery architecture combines the traditional benefits of lead batteries – low cost, recyclability and safety – with a novel bipolar battery architecture. As demand in high-power applications increases across industries, Gridtential’s technology delivers the high dynamic charge acceptance (DCA) required to meet these evolving performance needs.

“It’s an honor to be recognized as a leader in innovation,” said John Barton, CEO of Gridtential. “The advancements we have seen in the industry, as demonstrated by fellow Innovation Award entrants, proves that the industry is growing and building its future in the midst of new technologies and developments. I’m confident that the merits of this award will continue to encourage the industry to embody the spirit of innovation.”
