Revolutionary Battery Technology Extends Flight
Range and Payload Capacity
Amprius Technologies, Inc. (“Amprius” or the
“Company”) (NYSE: AMPX), a leader in next-generation
lithium-ion batteries with its Silicon Anode Platform, today
announced it has exited technical engagement and moved into
internal qualification, securing a purchase order from an eVTOL
(electric vertical take-off and landing) manufacturer for custom
silicon anode cells. Amprius’ advanced cells now serve all major
segments of the growing aviation market for electric mobility.

The eVTOL manufacturer strategically selected Amprius’
state-of-the-art cells to expand flight range and accelerate
time-to-market. The custom cells are based on Amprius’
ultra-high-power-high-energy lithium-ion batteries announced in
August.
“As eVTOL manufacturers strive to create safe and lightweight
vehicles, one of the primary challenges is finding a battery that
meets the rigorous power and energy requirements," said Kang Sun,
Chief Executive Officer of Amprius. "By harnessing our innovative
battery technology, we can rapidly customize our industry-leading
cells, extending flight ranges by up to 50% while enhancing payload
capacity. Amprius remains dedicated to commercializing high-power
and high-energy battery solutions that expand application
development and enhance cost-effectiveness in electric
mobility."
Leveraging Amprius’ advanced material system expertise, the 400
Wh/kg cell is capable of an impressive continuous discharge rate of
10C. The new cell brings unprecedented benefits to the eVTOL
industry, providing unmatched propulsion power and energy to meet
the rigorous demands during takeoff, cruise, and landing without
sacrificing performance. In addition, the new ultra-high-power cell
features ultra-fast charging (UFC) capabilities, allowing it to
reach 80 percent charge in six minutes or less, facilitating
expanded flight operations with swift turnaround times.
The agreement is contingent upon the successful qualification of
sample custom cells to be delivered later this year. Following
successful qualification of the cells, the eVTOL manufacturer would
receive an increased number of custom samples in early 2024 for
their demonstrator integration. In parallel with the integration,
Amprius expects to engage in discussion for a long-term volume
purchase agreement to support the eVTOL manufacturer’s
pre-production units in 2025 and beyond. The future volume
purchases would be supported by Amprius’ Brighton, Colorado
gigawatt-hour scale factory.
