History
editZincFive was created in 2016 when Ensite Power (formed near Portland in 2015)[1] merged with PowerGenix (formed near San Diego in 2003).[2] The combined entity has raised over $144M from a number of venture capital firms, including Helios Climate Ventures,[3] Standard Investments,[4] Senator Investment Group[citation needed], and OGCI Climate Investments.[5]
Since 2016 ZincFive has developed products based upon its nickel-zinc battery technology for data centers,[6] transportation control,[7] and industrial engine starting.[8] Products traditionally developed for these markets are based on lead-acid or lithium ion technology; batteries based upon nickel-zinc technology potentially have improved performance[9] with a lower environmental impact.[10]
