Amprius Technologies Launches Revolutionary Battery Platform
Amprius Technologies,Inc. has announced the accomplished verification of its innovative lithium-ion cell, boasting an impressive energy density of 500 Wh/kg adn 1300 Wh/L, which translates to substantially extended operational durations.
Lightweight and High-Performance Design
This new battery cell is designed to be approximately 50% lighter and more compact than the leading commercially available lithium-ion cells, offering remarkable discharge capabilities and overall performance.
Tailored Solutions for Diverse Applications
The advanced battery platform opens up new possibilities for users, providing a customized solution for applications that demand maximum discharge times without sacrificing critical features such as aircraft payload capacity, all while maintaining a lightweight design.
Extraordinary Energy Density and Customization Options
These batteries exhibit both high gravimetric energy density (wh/kg) and volumetric energy density (Wh/L), showcasing remarkable versatility. The customizable nature of the platform allows clients to choose between enhancing energy content in a battery pack without adding weight, reducing weight for applications with fixed energy requirements, or a combination of both. Increased energy capacity is vital for extended run times, range, and endurance, while lighter battery packs enhance energy efficiency, even with the same energy content.
Verified Performance Metrics
The 500 Wh/kg energy density was validated by Mobile power Solutions, a prominent testing facility specializing in battery regulatory compliance, safety, and performance assessments. their findings confirm that this cell model achieves over 504 Wh/kg and over 1321 Wh/L at a temperature of 25°C (77°F).
Positioning for Future Markets
As a frontrunner in next-generation lithium-ion batteries with its Silicon Anode Platform, Amprius is strategically positioned to supply power to the rapidly expanding aviation sector and, eventually, the electric vehicle market, which is projected to exceed $100 billion in battery demand by 2025.
Industry Impact and Future Prospects
“These cells offer a runtime that is 200% greater than that of conventional graphite cells, while being lighter and more compact than other batteries with equivalent energy content,” stated Jon Bornstein, President of Amprius Lab. “This latest validation reinforces Amprius’ commitment to producing the most powerful battery cells globally and establishes a new industry standard for next-generation battery technology, poised to transform aviation, travel distances, and device usage duration.”
