One of the recent U.S. Army demands has been for wearable
battery technology – powerful solutions in relatively lightweight
and compact packages that soldiers can safely carry and wear. The
U.S. Army has been working to revolutionize power solutions for
dismounted soldiers by introducing a next-generation battery pack
with significantly higher energy density than current solutions.
When integrated into a battery pack, the SiMaxx™ safe cells will
approximately double the energy density of existing solutions,
significantly extending mission time for soldiers on the
battlefield.
“This battery pack integration marks a significant advancement
in enhancing on-the-ground power solutions for the U.S. Army,” said
Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies. “Our SiMaxx™ safe cells,
known for their high energy density and safety features, will play
a crucial role in enhancing mission time and reliability for
dismounted soldiers.”
This development in battery technology for the U.S. Army
represents a substantial progression in wearable battery technology
and underscores the importance of innovation in supporting the
modernization efforts for our soldiers in the field.
The SiMaxx™ safe cells were developed as part of the U.S.
Army-funded Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program, an
industrial preparedness effort focused on scaling critical
Army-wide manufacturing requirements. In July 2023, Amprius SiMaxx™
safe cells successfully passed the rigorous safety and performance
requirements of MIL-PRE-32383 (Military Performance Specification).
In January 2024, Amprius successfully completed its scale-up
manufacturing initiative under ManTech, which included the delivery
of SiMaxx™ safe cells.
