Amprius Technologies is a leading developer of pioneering silicon anode lithium-ion batteries for drones and robotics.
Our products provide the highest known energy density of any commercially available lithium-ion batteries in the world, offering a drop-in replacement for conventional solutions while delivering up to 200% greater run time.
Our commercially available SiMaxx™ batteries deliver up to 450 Wh/kg and 1,150 Wh/L, with third-party validation of 500Wh/kg and 1,300 Wh/L. To address growing customer demand, we expanded our product portfolio to include the SiCore™ platform in 2024, significantly enhancing our ability to serve additional applications.
Our advanced silicon anode, lithium-ion batteries are designed in the U.S., and have been selected by the U.S. Department of Defense as well as industry leaders such as AALTO Airbus, BAE Systems, AeroVironment and Teledyne FLIR.
SiMaxx Leading Batteries
Our SiMaxx batteries are based on a patented silicon anode nanowire structure delivering high-energy-density silicon anode batteries that surpass state-of-the-art graphite cell performance today. SiMaxx batteries can deliver up to 450 Wh/kg gravimetric energy density and 1,150 Wh/L volumetric energy density, with third-party validation of 500 Wh/kg and 1,300 Wh/L, and reach 80% charge in as little as six minutes. They also operate reliably across a wide temperature range – minus 30 degrees C to 55 degrees C.
SiCore Leading Batteries
The new SiCore batteries are based on an innovative, proprietary silicon anode material system capable of delivering extremely high power-to-energy ratios that significantly surpass state-of-the-art graphite cell performance today. The new silicon anode cell chemistry is designed to offer high energy density, up to 400 Wh/kg, is capable of 10C charge/discharge, and long cycle life, demonstrating as many as 1,200 cycles at full depth of discharge.
Through our state-of-the-art pilot line, global contract manufacturing partnerships, and future GWh-scale production site, we are positioned to deliver our customers high-performance silicon anode batteries at scale.
Our corporate headquarters is in Fremont, California, where we maintain an R&D lab and a MWh scale manufacturing facility for the fabrication of silicon anodes and cells. To better serve growing customer demand, we’ve secured up to 800 MWh of pouch cell capacity and over 1 GWh of cylindrical cell capacity annually through strategic contract manufacturing partnerships. Collaborating with multiple partners enables us to rapidly scale production while mitigating risks such as delays, equipment failures, and supply chain disruptions.
The company has also entered into a lease agreement for a GWh-scale manufacturing facility in Brighton, Colorado. The production site is designed with flexibility in mind. With most of the design completed, the site benefits from strategic access to transportation networks, a highly skilled workforce, ample room for future expansion, and proximity to key markets.
