Flux Power Introduces New Technology to Increase Usable Energy and Extend the Life of Lithium Battery Systems

ESCONDIDO, Calif., Dec. 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flux Power® Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:FLUX), a fully reporting company and an innovator in durable, scalable, and affordable advanced energy storage systems, today announced that it has developed a technology that intuitively manages advanced energy storage systems to increase cycle life and usable energy while decreasing charging times in wind, solar, back-up power and EV (electric vehicle) applications. This innovative, patent-pending technology will provide Flux's customers with a solution that greatly extends cycle life and enhances the total energy available while decreasing charge times.

As energy storage systems become larger, more sophisticated management platforms need to be developed in order to maximize usage and efficiency. Flux Power's advanced technology provides a new methodology that doesn't simply react to inconsistent voltage conditions, but intuitively manages each cell. The proprietary algorithms of the technology preemptively identify cell metrics to ensure accelerated balancing, charging and adapt the control of each cell in a battery system over time. This feature ultimately widens the total usable energy in a given storage system while providing a significant volume of information at any given point during an individual cell's life.

Paulus Geantil, Flux Power's Director of Engineering and the inventor of this technology commented, "The market and our customers consistently request more granularity of information on the storage demands of their specific applications to maximize the efficiency of their advanced storage system applications. Our new technology will deliver that functionality to them and sets our advanced energy storage systems well ahead of anyone else in the market today."

The key benefit of this technology is its ability to recognize and adapt to the degradation of each cell in a battery pack through a comparative analysis of various perimeters, including the other cells within the battery pack and historical data regarding the cell. This technology can also offer Flux's customer with real cell degradation data while being application agnostic.

"This is a key addition to our core technology as it provides our customers with one of the most robust advanced energy storage solutions available on the market today," said Chris Anthony, CEO of Flux Power. "We are working hard to incorporate this technology into all of our future product releases in order to provide our customers with the critical data they have been requesting."
