‘We have not ruled this out’: The water-based battery that could turn whole data centers into energy storage

• QinetiQ testing of SuperDielectrics’ water-based zinc cells showed up to 13x longer high-power cycle life, 100C discharge in 36 seconds, and zero thermal runaway
• The company is pitching its solution to AI datacenters as a ‘shock absorber’ that can deal with power requirement spikes safely and reliably
• SuperDielectrics’ Faraday 3’s first commercial deployment is slated for early 2027 as it goes up against existing Lithium-ion battery-based energy storage as an alternative that can be deployed inside the data center

Cambridge-based advanced battery technology company SuperDielectrics recently published independent test results for its upcoming water-based Zinc battery, which could help cement its de facto presence in most projects that leverage renewable energy, whose output is often inconsistent.…
