Relectrify eliminates the need for conventional inverters in batteries. The CellSwitch™ technology uses circuit boards containing electronic switches that control each individual cell or series, dynamically managing which cells are active. This draws more energy from stronger cells, extending battery life by ensuring uniform degradation, and results in smooth, grid-compliant alternating current (AC) sine wave directly from the battery pack.

With more wind and solar coming on the grid, longer duration storage than that provided by Li-ion batteries (2-4 hours) will be needed to shift excess production to times of demand. Inlyte has developed a low-cost, salt-iron battery for grid storage, well-suited for 4+ hour durations. This alternative chemistry is also fire-safe and does not rely on scarce lithium.
