Amprius Technologies, a developer of silicon anode lithium-ion batteries for drones and robotics, has secured a purchase order totaling over $35 million for its SiCore® cells from a leading UAS manufacturer.
Amprius’ SiCore cells are developed for the rigorous demands of UAS missions, including take-off, sustained flight and landing.
These batteries have advanced energy-to-power performance, extending flight times and mission ranges beyond the limits of conventional lithium-ion batteries. This enables drones to achieve the endurance required for critical operations.
This latest purchase follows a $15 million order placed in February 2025, highlighting the increasing adoption of Amprius’ high energy density batteries.
Amprius itself supports large-scale orders through its global contract manufacturing network, which has over 1.8 GWh of secured capacity. A key partnership in South Korea aids deployment across aerospace, defense, and electric mobility markets.
Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies, stated, “This follow-on order of more than $35 million from an existing customer highlights both the trust we’ve built with leading drone manufacturers and the strong momentum behind our revenue and market share growth.
“As a leading supplier of silicon anode batteries, we are delivering the performance that enables our customers to meet their most demanding mission profiles. We believe the next phase of UAS growth will be powered by advanced high-performance batteries, and Amprius’ technology, products, and manufacturing capabilities uniquely position us to capture a growing share of this rapidly expanding market.”
Amprius’ combination of advanced silicon anode batteries with established global manufacturing partners enables the company to solidify its leadership in the future of electric aviation.
