History

PowerGenix was formed near San Diego, CA in 2000. PowerGenix developed and patented high-power and low-cost Nickel-Zinc rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, grid storage, and other power intensive applications. PowerGenix raised over $47 million from a number of venture capital firms, including Granite Ventures, Advent International, Braemar Energy Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, and OnPoint Technologies.

Merger

EnSite Power was formed near Portland, OR in 2015. PowerGenix merged with EnSite Power in 2016, creating ZincFive. ZincFive has raised over $78M from a number of venture capital firms, including 40 North Ventures, DBL Partners, and OGCI Climate Investments.

Since 2016 ZincFive has developed products based upon its nickel-zinc battery technology for data centers,[1] transportation control,[2] and industrial engine starting.[3] Products traditionally developed for these markets are based on lead-acid or lithium ion technology; batteries based upon nickel-zinc technology potentially have improved performance[4] with a lower environmental impact.[5]
