G-Cap 500 represents a breakthrough in energy storage through Vertically Aligned Graphene Array (VAGA) technology, designed to solve the two major bottlenecks of today's Li-ion batteries: slow charging and short lifespan.
Thanks to graphene's status as one of the most electrically conductive materials in the world, G-Cap 500 can absorb extremely high current instantaneously. This enables 0-80% charging in just 5 minutes (compared to 1-2 hours for conventional Li-ion batteries) and delivers a lifespan 10-50 times longer than standard batteries.
This technology is not intended to completely replace Li-ion batteries, but rather to fill critical market gaps where ultra-fast charging and emergency power are essential—such as electric buses that recharge at terminals, cargo delivery drones, and AI-grade data center UPS systems requiring immediate high-power backup.
Extreme Fast Charging (XFC): Charges to near-full capacity in minutes, not hours, dramatically reducing vehicle downtime in commercial operations.
Ultra-Long Cycle Life: Supports over 100,000 charge cycles (compared to ~2,000 cycles for typical Li-ion batteries), effectively eliminating the need for battery replacement over a vehicle's lifetime and significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
High Power Density: Exceptional capability to deliver high burst power, ideal for heavy-duty vehicle acceleration and instant emergency power supply applications.
Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably under extreme conditions from -40°C to +65°C, with minimal performance degradation.
