South 8 Technologies, based in San Diego, California, is developing lithium-ion battery technology around a liquefied gas electrolyte called LiGas. By replacing conventional liquid electrolytes, LiGas aims to improve safety, expand the operating temperature range to -60 to +60 C, and support higher energy and faster charging while remaining compatible with standard battery materials and manufacturing processes. Its customers range from cell manufacturers to end users in defense, aerospace, and electric vehicle programs. The company holds patents across 14 countries, signaling its international reach in the energy storage field. Recent developments include expanding its San Diego headquarters to scale LiGas production and launching the LiGas platform, along with partnerships to apply LiGas-enabled cells in cold-weather battery systems.
