About Us
Li-S Energy is a publicly listed Australian company that has developed unique lithium sulfur and lithium metal batteries using technology developed and patented in Australia.
Our lithium sulfur cells have already demonstrated more than twice the energy density of lithium-ion. The cells are also greener, with no nickel, cobalt, or manganese and are far less prone to global material supply risks.
We have seen unprecedented demand from global EV manufacturers, aviation, drone, and defence OEMs for cell testing and trials. We need to translate this demand into meaningful partnerships, driving test and trial programs leading to conditional supply agreements.
The Company has built and commissioned Australia's largest automated pouch cell production facility and battery testing centre in Geelong, Victoria, and is now ready to scale to commercial manufacturing.
