Products
TheQED Cell.
QED makes the rechargeable alkaline zinc cell, and the module and battery management system that turn cells into storage. Integrators and manufacturers build them into their own systems.
What QED makes
Cell, module, BMS
The building blocks of a storage system, on one water-based zinc platform. The systems themselves are built by our partners and customers.
Cell
The rechargeable alkaline zinc cell
Water-based and non-combustible, with no lithium and no cobalt, in a flat prismatic format, designed with a plastic case. Proven in coin cells; the prismatic format is in validation.
- Coin cell · proven
- Prismatic · in validation
Module
Cells, assembled
QED cells built into modules for storage systems.
- In development
BMS
Battery management
The battery management system that monitors and balances the cells in a module.
- In development
Concept renders and illustration. Final dimensions and finishes are still being set.

Formats
From coin cell to prismatic
Coin cell — the small laboratory format where every result so far has been measured.
Prismatic — the flat, stackable format, designed with a plastic case, built for storage systems. It is the product format, and it is in validation now.
The roadmap
One platform, three generations
Every generation is built on the same water-based zinc foundation. Each one changes the materials to reach a higher voltage and energy density, so each generation is its own product.
Gen 1 · pre-pilot phase
Grid, BESS & residential
Container-scale, appliance-sized and wall-mounted storage. The lead product.
Gen 2 · in the lab
Power banks, e-scooters & devices
Compact, non-combustible cells for products that are often in the news for catching fire.
Gen 3 · in development
EVs & military
Energy density equivalent to solid-state batteries (target).
Gen 1 · pre-pilot phase
Container-scale, appliance-sized and wall-mounted storage.
Gen 1
Grid, BESS & residential
Grid storage, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and residential energy storage, Gen 1 is the lead product, now in the pre-pilot phase.
- Utilities
- Data centers
- Industrial
- Homes
Gen 2
Power banks, e-scooters & devices
Compact rechargeable cells for power banks, e-scooters, earpieces, phones and other devices that need small, safe power storage. Power banks and e-scooters are regularly in the headlines for fires in homes and on planes. QED’s non-combustible chemistry cannot enter thermal runaway, the failure behind those fires. In the lab.
- Power banks
- E-scooters
- Personal electronics
- Wearables
Gen 2 · in the lab
Storage that lives inside the home, next to the people it powers.
Gen 3 · in development
EVs & military.Solid-state equivalent.
Everything Gen 1 and Gen 2 do, plus storage for electric vehicles and military use: energy density equivalent to solid-state batteries. These are targets, in development — not a product yet.
Applications
Where the cells go
Grid storage, data centers, homes, devices, vehicles and defense — the systems our partners and customers build with QED cells.
Absolute Safety, Absolute Energy.
