India’s Offgrid Secures $15M to Redefine Battery Storage

India’s Offgrid Raises $15M to Make Lithium Optional for Battery Storage Lithium may dominate today’s energy storage market, but alternatives are gaining momentum. India’s Offgrid raises $15M to make lithium optional for battery storage , offering a zinc-bromine-based solution that challenges the limits of traditional lithium-ion systems. With global demand for clean energy surging, the startup is positioning itself as a key player in the future of battery technology.

Unlike lithium, zinc-bromine batteries rely on abundant, non-rare materials, reducing risks tied to volatile supply chains and short lifespans. India’s Push for Renewable Energy Storage India is aggressively scaling up its clean energy infrastructure. The …
