E-magy, a European pioneering manufacturer of high-energy density lithium ion batteries, is a trusted and valued supplier partner on Unmanned Systems Technology.
As a continued partner, UST is highlighting the company’s unique solutions via the E-magy supplier profile. The company’s batteries utilize silicon-dominant anodes that offer up to ten times the capacity of other solutions as well as faster charging times, while reducing overall weight and production costs.
Read on to find out more:
E-magy’s silicon anode technology offers a number of benefits, including:
- Higher energy density – E-magy’s revolutionary technology enables the creation of Li-ion batteries that deliver 40% higher energy density (in Wh/kg) with faster charging
- Negligible anode expansion – tests have shown a negligible pouch cell thickness variation of <5% after 100 cycles, with an 85% weight silicon anode
- Environmentally-friendly – E-magy uses cheap metallurgical-grade silicon that is abundantly available and EU-sourced, and a highly efficient casting process with negligible scrappage and a low carbon footprint
- Low-cost – production costs per kWh are on par with graphite, thanks to raw material availability and the efficient crystallisation process
E-magy’s drone battery offerings
The company is developing a 10 Ah pouch cell specifically designed for drone applications that is highly suited to the needs of multirotor drones as well as hybrid VTOL fixed-wing platforms.
The lightweight and compact battery solution has consistently achieved over 30 minutes of flight time for up to 186 flight cycles under robust test protocols. Thickness measurements show that cell swelling is contained to within 3.5%, when the battery is cycled for 280 hours at a C/2 rate.
The first iteration of the drone pouch cell is already in production, and E-magy expects an improved cell design to be ready in H1 2026.
