The Issue
Project Innovation
The purpose of this Agreement is to design and build a Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) pilot line to manufacture high capacity 18650 silicon anode lithium batteries with significantly higher cycle life compared to other silicon anode technologies. The batteries will be produced at an average rate of 500 cells per day and will have high energy density, fast charging, superior performance over a wide temperature range, increased safety characteristics, and are based on raw materials less susceptible to supply chain disruption than mainstream graphite-based batteries.
