Safer, Longer-Lasting Domestic Batteries

Sparkz is pioneering the production of LFP batteries in the United States, ideal for stationary storage applications due to their extended cycle life and superior thermal stability at competitive prices.

Built to last.

LFP batteries have a cycle life four times longer than NMC which keeps them operating on the grid longer at a fraction of the cost.

Safety

FeCAM's™ robust chemistry ensures that LFP batteries are less susceptible to thermal runoff and are more tolerant of a wider operating temperature thus providing a safer alternative for multiple applications.

Secure Supply Chain

FeCAM's™ domestic sourcing also ensures reliable domestic shipping creating a healthy supply chain.

Longer Cycle Life

Our advanced LFP chemistry offers a battery with four times the cycle life of competing chemistries.

Lower Cost

FeCAM™ is produced domestically, dramatically driving down the cost of LFP batteries.

Unmatched Durability

FeCAM's™ robust chemistry ensures that Sparkz batteries are not only safer and more durable but also highly weather-resistant, making them ideal for all your storage needs.

Customize your battery with a true partnership.

Collaboration

The Sparkz team is dedicated to building the right battery to fit your design requirements in collaboration with your team.

Personalization

Sparkz can deliver cathode material, cells, or a full battery pack that will seamlessly integrate into your system.

Domestic quality.

Sparkz produces FeCAM™ in the United States, quality solutions at competitive prices.

Founder & CEO

Dr. Sanjiv Malhotra

Dr. Sanjiv Malhotra is the founder and CEO of Sparkz—the battery start-up reinventing the energy supply chain.

 

Malhotra has been a leader in the energy sector for nearly three decades as a founder, investor and executive. Most recently, he served as the inaugural director for the Energy Investor Center at the U.S Department of Energy (DOE), serving under both Democratic and Republican administrations.

 

At DOE, Malhotra led the Obama Administration’s initiative to boost public-private partnerships to accelerate the commercialization of technologies developed in national research centers like Oak Ridge National Labs.

 

Malhotra was recruited to the Department of Energy after a successful exit of Oorja Protonics—the world leader in methanol fuel cells—which he founded and led as CEO for 10 years. Oorja raised $50 Million in equity financing from leading VCs such as Sequoia, DAG Ventures, Artis Capital and others during his tenure. He boosted Oorja’s revenue and profitability growth, while expanding operations globally in Japan, China, South Africa, Mexico, and India.

 

Oorja was acquired in 2014 by the Private Equity firm MinXing Growth Fund.

 

As an investor and consultant, Malhotra has worked at leading venture capital firms, including Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers as an advisor on clean energy and advanced materials.

 

Earlier in his career, Malhotra led the engineering and product development team at H Power, a pioneer in hydrogen fuel cells. As part of the management team, he managed the successful IPO, which raised more than $100 million in August 2000.

 

He began his career as a post-doctoral fellow at the renowned Lawrence Berkeley National Labs on electrochemical storage systems. Dr. Malhotra has authored seven patents and more than 40 publications in various fields of energy storage technology and materials. He holds a PhD in chemical engineering and an M.B.A from University of Iowa.
