6-minute charging updatesNo lithium or rare earth materialsUQ and Rio Tinto collaboration

Faster charging

Laboratory testing demonstrates six-minute full charging.

Rechargeable

Rechargeable and designed to be interchangeable with lithium-ion battery applications.

Greener and safer

The chemistry uses no lithium or rare earth materials.

Strong partnerships

Developed in collaboration with UQ, UniQuest, Rio Tinto and the Battery Innovation Center in Indiana, USA

Pioneering technology

A significant step closer to reality

Laboratory testing has demonstrated very high power-density compared with lithium-ion technology – enabling charging in 6 minutes – with scale-up on long cycle life research ongoing.

Compares with lithium-ion batteries while using a different chemistry.

Interchangeable and rechargeable, with comparable use cases to lithium-ion batteries.

No lithium or rare earth materials, for a cleaner supply chain.

Battery concept

In active development

⚡G CELLS™ is a battery technology development program. Progress is tracked through laboratory results, official announcements and prototype testing with partner organisations.

Reported advantages

Battery performance at a glance

Fast charge

Faster charging

Laboratory testing has demonstrated up to 70 times faster charging compared to lithium-ion, with six-minute full charging achieved.

Life

More battery life

Early testing indicates up to 3 times longer battery life compared to lithium-ion.

Chemistry

Greener and safer

The chemistry uses no lithium or rare earth materials, reducing supply-chain risk.

Energy density

49 Wh/kg progress milestone

In April 2026, we reported pouch-cell energy density of 49 Wh/kg at 10C charging (6mins) – double the previous result – confirmed through BIC testing.

Readiness

BTRL 4 development stage

Battery Technology Readiness Level 4, with pouch-cell optimisation ongoing.

IP

Ongoing IP collaboration

Developed under an IP collaboration agreement with The University of Queensland.
