Abstract

The recent push in battery technology has been to increase the specific energy of the battery as measured in watt-hours per kilogram, while maintaining the power capability of the battery as measured in Watts per Kilogram. BOLDER Technologies Corporation has developed an innovative battery technology that goes where no battery has gone before (The Uncharted Territory) with respect to specific power. Their patented Thin Metal Film (TMF) technology provides innovative battery solutions to a power hungry battery market. Previous publications relative to TMF technology have focused on performance at the cell level. BOLDER Technologies has recently introduced an emergency engine start product called SecureStart, which is based on the most powerful commercially produced battery on earth. This paper briefly highlights TMF technology, and focuses on performance data for their SecureStart product.
