Mana Battery聽Inc. (Mana) was founded as a spinout of Chunmei Ban鈥檚 laboratory (CU 麻豆影院聽Paul M. Rady Mechanical Engineering)聽in October 2023 to commercialize best-in-class sodium battery technology. Sodium-based batteries have the potential to displace lithium-ion batteries in a variety of applications based on their promised low costs, abundant supply chain, and safety, but they have been limited to date due to聽insufficient cycle lifetimes and energy density. Mana addresses these issues and delivers on the promise of the sodium-ion battery with a proprietary low-cost, safe material and battery cell design platform, providing similar energy to Li-ion battery cells at 35-75% of the cost. Founded with a team and advisory board of veteran energy storage entrepreneurs and technologists, Mana is beginning prototyping聽its first-generation technology.
