Skip Technologies, a Portland-based company, is developing a new Liquid battery for large stationary energy storage that can last from 4 to over 100 hours. The company recently received an investment from Puyallup Tribal Enterprises, although the exact amount of the deal was not disclosed.
With the newly acquired funds, Skip Technologies plans to expand its operations and continue its development efforts. The company, led by CEO Brennan Gantner, has created a unique battery that utilizes bromine and hydrogen instead of the typical lithium. This innovative design eliminates the need for moving parts and is fully recyclable. By using bromine and allowing hydrogen to evaporate in the case of a leak, the battery demonstrates an environmentally friendly approach.
Brennan Gantner expressed his excitement about the new partnership, mentioning that both companies share a commitment to protecting the environment and creating local job opportunities in domestic manufacturing. He sees Puyallup Tribal Enterprises as a valuable financial investor and looks forward to leveraging their manufacturing capabilities for the benefit of Skip Technologies.
