SAN JOSE — Lyten said Wednesday it has launched a pilot production line for lithium-sulfur batteries in San Jose, an endeavor it hopes will revolutionize the battery sector and usher in new kinds of Silicon Valley innovations.
“We think this is a battery for the masses,” Cook said. “We believe we can produce sulfur-lithium batteries at half the cost of offshore batteries.” The company provided tours of the battery research, development and production center at its campus in north San Jose’s Alviso district as part of a ribbon-cutting event on Wednesday.
“For many people, Silicon Valley has been reduced to only software, but that’s not the case,” said Gen. Steven “Bucky” Butow, director of the space portfolio with the Defense Innovation Unit of the federal Defense Department. “But Silicon Valley produces a lot of hardware that can be disruptive. Lyten is one of those companies that can disrupt an industry.”
The company’s efforts in San Jose have helped it launch and remain in a brisk hiring mode for jobs in San Jose.
