OVIEDO, Fla. - eTradeWire -- C-BATT, a joint venture between X-BATT and CONSOL Innovations, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy Inc., has launched the next phase of its effort to accelerate the development and commercialization of next-generation battery anode materials.

C-BATT is combining X-BATT's revolutionary battery technology with CONSOL Innovations' domestically sourced carbon resources to bring its tunable silicon-carbon composite battery material, called Obsidia, to market. The breakthrough Obsidia material is being developed to increase the energy density, enhance fast-charging capabilities and improve cycle life performance of the battery, all while mitigating the swelling challenge that commonly affects silicon containing battery materials.

CEO of C-BATT Bill Easter stated, "C-BATT is taking years of innovation and breakthroughs in battery materials and bringing a practical solution to the battery market. The partnership between X-BATT and CONSOL Innovations propels our technology to the next level and allows us to provide a solution for the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries with American-made and American-mined products."
