Production Deliveries of Advanced Battery Packs
for Mission-Critical Applications Scheduled in 2023
Amprius Technologies, Inc. ("Amprius" or the
"Company") (NYSE: AMPX), a leader in next-generation
lithium-ion batteries with its Silicon Anode Platform, today
announced the successful completion of a critical technology
development program in collaboration with the U.S. Army. The
program successfully delivered Amprius’ 390 Wh/kg safe cells with a
gel polymer electrolyte, passing the rigorous Military Performance
Specification Nail Penetration Test per the requirements of section
4.7.4.4. of the MIL-PRF-32383 (Military Performance Specification).
When integrated into a battery pack, this cutting-edge technology
more than doubles the energy density of existing solutions,
significantly extending mission time.
Concurrently, Amprius has achieved significant progress in its
Army-funded Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program, an
industrial preparedness program focused on addressing Army-wide
manufacturing requirements. The company has successfully achieved
its manufacturing milestone for mass production processes. The
completion of the manufacturing technology development initiative
under ManTech includes the delivery of safe cells for battery packs
that merge technology for mass production with a mission-critical
product, thereby facilitating large-scale deployments. Amprius
remains committed to working closely with its partner, Inventus
Power, to deliver these Conformal Wearable Batteries ("CWB") packs
to the US Army before the end of 2023.
"We take immense pride in the successful completion of our
technology development program for the US Army soldiers' central
power source, the CWB," said Dr. Kang Sun, CEO at Amprius
Technologies. "This accomplishment solidifies our commitment to
delivering innovative battery solutions that surpass industry
standards and address the evolving needs of our armed forces. At
Amprius, our teams in Fremont, California, are committed to
delivering state-of-the-art technologies that provide game-changing
performance for our soldiers."
These advancements are part of a larger program (U.S. Department
of Defense Contract), which outlined Inventus Power as a
participant in a competition to supply conformal wearable batteries
to the U.S. Army. This program represents a significant
opportunity, with a total value of $1.25 billion through 2030.
The Amprius team is honored to have collaborated with the U.S.
Army on this critical initiative. This accomplishment further
reinforces Amprius' position as a leading provider of advanced
battery solutions for mission-critical applications.
