Lithium–titanate battery - Wikipedia
I first saw reference to this in the comment section of A stunning new all-electric catamaran with massive battery pack goes into operation:
Here's a quote from Wikipedia:

Here's a quote from Wikipedia:
A lithium–titanate battery is a modified lithium-ion battery that uses lithium-titanate nanocrystals on the surface of its anode instead of carbon. This gives the anode a surface area of about 100 square meters per gram, compared with 3 square meters per gram for carbon, allowing electrons to enter and leave the anode quickly. This makes fast recharging possible and provides high currents when needed.[5] Lithium Titanate cells also withstand 3000-7000 cycles, far higher than other chemistries.[6]
A disadvantage of lithium-titanate batteries is that they have a lower inherent voltage (2.4 V), which leads to a lower specific energy of about 30–110 Wh/kg[7] than conventional lithium-ion battery technologies (which have an inherent voltage of 3.7 V).[8]
Lithium-titanate batteries are reported to have an energy density of up to 177 Wh/L.[7]
