"ElectriPlast bi-polar plate technology is fully compatible with all new developments in battery chemistries and construction, leading to higher specific energy, longer lifetime, improved reliability and energy density properties. The Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium(ALABC) development of the lead acid battery properties, have improved the partial state of charge (PSOC) and dynamic charge acceptance(DCA) are directly applicable on the bipolar lead carbon batteries with ElectriPlast bipolar plates, said Slobodan Pavlovic. Our recent internal data shows that ElectriPlast based bipolar batteries, satisfies U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium LLC requirements set for 12V Start-Stop Vehicle Applications and for 48V Hybrid Electric Vehicle Applications for year 2020."

In yesterdays PR ITKG states they have "met the requirements". The following link is a lot of information detailing what those requirements actually are.

What I am having difficulty with is the relevance. Why would they want to meet these requirements. Tried reading into but had no luck.
