The HILABS GmbH
Haq Innovation LABoratorieS. Developer of the rechargeable zinc battery ABBy
The HILABS GmbH
The Haq Innovation LABoratorieS developed ABBy the rechargeable zinc battery. There is no directly comparable competitor product to this one. The lithium and cobalt-free HILABS ABBy battery with replaceable Electric Liquid and high TRL maturity is scalable. It is recyclable, inexpensive, safe and environmentally friendly. HILABS sees itself as a constant optimizer and developer of innovative solutions. ABBy is the flagship, which is perceived by experts as a potential game changer.
Our mission. Our task.
We see it as our mission to revolutionize the energy storage market by making batteries available to private households and industry that are inexpensive, safe, clean and environmentally friendly. This will significantly support the energy transition, decarbonization and the fight against climate change. As a result, everyone will be able to afford their own private battery storage in the future.
HILABS offers the solution for the energy transition
The energy transition requires a new type of battery technology that is cost-effective, safe and ecological. The latest state of the art cannot yet meet these requirements. Lithium-ion technology is too expensive and harmful to the environment, and the cheap batteries have a short life span. The ABBy battery cell provides an answer to this question. It is based on a zinc technology. With this battery cell it is possible to produce a fully sustainable battery system.
Status quo – what we are proud of
After 7 years of laboratory experiments the “proof of concept” was achieved.
2019 HILABS GmbH was awarded with the first prize of the foundation “Energie & Klimaschutz“. Classified as TRL 6, the cells are now close to serial production (regarding performance, energy & materials). The entire production chain of a battery cell is successfully mapped in our laboratory – from raw material to the finished cell. We use robots for the automation of many processes and manufacture many cell components by 3D printing. For the “Proof of Market” long-term tests with multiple cell batteries are currently running! 7000 charge-discharge cycles have been achieved and the goal is to achieve more than 10,000 cycles and thus a lifetime of 25 years and more.
What makes us different from our competitors
Solar pv storage systems from main suppliers are based on Li-Ion technology – they are expensive and environmentally harmful, due to the conflict materials such as lithium and cobalt. Other offers short-life low-cost lead-acid batteries. Competitors in zinc battery technology are in research or prototype phase or are not scalable. There is no competing product to the HILABS ABBy battery with replaceable electric-liquid and high TRL maturity that is simultaneously scalable, recyclable, cost-effective, safe and environmentally friendly.
