The founders proved that their patented production technology allows to produce safe batteries that are (depending on the use) even 10-200 times cheaper than other companies producing solid state batteries. We believe that in the next few years, each of us, using electronics, will have our battery in his device "- commented Jacek Błoński, managing partner at Aper Ventures, quoted in The Batteries release. “Difficulties with heavy, relatively low-capacity, and sometimes exploding batteries are a significant barrier to the development of many modern sectors of today's economy. Our latest investment - The Batteries - meets these challenges. A product that is practically ready to be implemented in applications where small but reliable, high-capacity and long-lasting batteries are required is in great demand on the market. Launching production and commercializing the developed solutions will allow you to stay ahead of the competition and take a place on this market with great potential. We always invest in projects with a proven product and a motivated team - we are convinced that this combination also in The Batteries will guarantee the company's success, and thus the investors, ”added the main shareholder and president of JR Holding, January Ciszewski.
