My guest today is Tim Hysell. Tim is the CEO and co-founder of ZincFive. A Tualatin, Oregon-based manufacturer of nickel-zinc batteries, ZincFive offers powerful battery solutions for mission-critical applications that need to be on all the time - such as data centers. ZincFive offers an alternative to other battery technologies such as a lead acid or lithium that is safer, more sustainable and more reliable.

ZincFive recently completed a $75M Series D from OGCI Investments.

A repeat entrepreneur with more than three decades of experience, Tim started ZincFive after perceiving the lack of a good solution in the fast discharge battery space for critical applications. That is the focus of our discussion.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• the relative merits and environmental footprint of the different battery technologies and
• the latest innovation in this space so critical to support our energy transition
• what is driving the very fast adoption of new battery technologies in the data center industry

I hope you enjoy my discussion with Tim Hysell.
