Amprius Technologies Delivers High-Volume silicon Anode Cells to KARI

Amprius technologies, Inc. has successfully dispatched a significant quantity of SiMaxx™ cells to the Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI).

Strengthening Global Leadership in HAPS Solutions

This shipment reinforces AmpriusS status as a leading provider of battery solutions for High Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS). The SiMaxx cells are engineered to minimize weight while substantially extending the flight range of aircraft.

Innovative Features of SiMaxx cells

Notably, SiMaxx cells are recognized as the only commercially available batteries capable of supporting the power and endurance requirements for overnight stratospheric flights. These cells facilitate higher payload capacities and are designed for operation in diverse seasonal conditions and elevated latitudes. Furthermore, they can be tailored to meet specific operational needs, enhancing both performance and efficiency.

Statements from Leadership

“Our collaboration with KARI fulfills multiple objectives, including the global validation of our cutting-edge technology and showcasing our capacity to deliver top-tier HAPS solutions,” stated Dr.Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies. “We are dedicated to providing unparalleled battery performance for the future of aerospace and eagerly anticipate our ongoing partnership with the KARI team.”

“To achieve our enterprising stratospheric mission goals, we require advanced energy solutions that meet rigorous performance standards,” remarked Seung-jae Hwang, Project Manager for KARI’s Solar HALE initiative. “By incorporating Amprius’ ultra-high-energy density batteries into our solar-powered aerial vehicles, we can significantly boost mission performance and redefine cargo capabilities, extending flight durations in the stratosphere.”

Future Production Plans

Amprius is set to manufacture its 450 Wh/kg custom cell configurations, which are anticipated to enhance performance across various sectors, including electric aviation and military high-energy storage applications. The large-scale production of these cells is planned to commence at Amprius’ Colorado facility,with operations expected to begin in 2025.
