27th Century Technologies says that the battery will not be marketed as a battery replacement, but as a component of the modern human life cycle.“ We expect it to run longer than the user who acquires it will live. Our objective is to give the corporate world local, state or federal government the opportunity to acquire our cell phone system. It will make their lives simpler by eliminating the hassle that comes from always having to charge their cell phone. The need to carry adapters and have to remember that if their cell phone is in need of a charge will be something from the past,” says the company.
The company was founded in 1995 with the vision of developing superior self-charging batteries that“ would replace batteries in battery-intensive and problematic worldwide markets”. It has launched an aggressive marketing drive for its Maxergy™ Battery in fiscal 2013. It believes that it can sell over 48 million units in the year. Initially 27th Century Technologies plans to target the cell-phone industry, but says it sees great potential in other markets such as automotive manufacturing, food processing, construction, and telecommunications.
27th Century Technologies says it is dedicated to designing earth friendly green products. The company’ s focus is on renewable energy for today and future needs. It aims to address the world’ s energy problems by implementing innovative power technologies and improvements to existing electric transmission infrastructure.“ Our technology will also enable new market segments to be born where power infrastructure does not exist,” says the company. It is raising the initial US $ 30 million required to bring the Maxergy™ Battery to full-scale manufacturing. The company’ s projections are that it could achieve revenues of US $ 24 billion in a few years.
“ Consumers are becoming more‘ green’ and are looking for ways to do so. Take for instance, the growth in the market for rechargeable batteries, electric vehicles and so on. 27th Century Technologies is in the best position to give the consumers what they want,” says the company.
