[{"type":"text","content":" VISTA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nFlux Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLUX), a developer of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification of commercial and industrial equipment, today announced combined purchase orders from new and existing customers in excess of $64 million in the fiscal year June 30, 2022, which was more than 82% over the order volume for fiscal year June 30, 2021.\n\nWhile not an exact measure, we estimate that purchase orders indicate future revenue potential from new customers in fiscal year 2022 was 26% of revenue, with the remaining 74% from repeat customers.
