What We Do

We make rechargeable, bio – organic and bio – degradable batteries from crop residue. These batteries can be used to power mobile phones, electric cars, electronic gadgets, commercial vehicles and other objects which need a battery as the source of power to function. Most of the elements used in the complete process of making the bio – organic batteries are Eco – friendly and available in nature in good quantities. The designed batteries are bio – degradable and can be used in enhancing the quality of manure after degradation. The crop residue batteries can be recycled and used to make new batteries at no extra cost as well. The batteries built through our patented technology, are more efficient and effective as compared to li - ion batteries as they have a potential to charge faster and last longer.
