Key Figures
Market Reality Check
Peers on Argus
DFLI’s pre-news move of -3.67% occurs as several electrical/energy-storage peers (EPOW, GWH, STI, XPON) also show single-day declines, while CCTG is up, indicating mixed peer action rather than a uniform sector trend.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 08 | Year-end CEO letter | Positive | +2.3% | Outlined 2025 turnaround via equity raises, debt restructuring, and R&D progress. |
| Dec 16 | Reverse stock split | Negative | -38.0% | Announced 1-for-10 reverse stock split to maintain Nasdaq compliance. |
| Dec 10 | Rail partnership | Positive | +8.3% | Distribution deal with National Railway Supply and new AREMA lithium battery standard. |
| Dec 08 | Marine OEM expansion | Positive | +6.5% | World Cat expands use of Battle Born batteries as standard equipment on new model. |
| Nov 28 | Product launch | Positive | +2.4% | Launch of Battle Born Power Station Series portable industrial-grade power systems. |
Recent operational and strategic news, especially partnerships and product launches, have generally coincided with positive next-day price reactions, while the reverse split announcement aligned with a sharp decline.
Over the last few months, Dragonfly Energy has focused on balance sheet repair, new products, and commercial traction. A Q3 2025 CEO letter highlighted equity raises, debt restructuring, and a remaining $19 million debt balance, which saw a modest positive price reaction. Announcements on marine OEM expansion, industrial-grade power stations, and a rail distribution partnership each coincided with positive moves between +2% and +8%. In contrast, the 1-for-10 reverse split on Dec 18, 2025 saw a large negative reaction, underscoring sensitivity to capital-structure actions versus operational news.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement adds a solar-generation layer to Dragonfly Energy’s Battle Born ecosystem, launching four panel models with efficiencies up to 23% and shade-optimized designs. The move follows recent product introductions and OEM wins that previously coincided with positive price reactions. Against a backdrop of past financings, debt restructuring, and a reverse split, this news emphasizes ongoing operational build-out. Investors may watch how integrated system adoption, capital structure developments, and execution on new channels influence future updates.

High-efficiency solar panels built to deliver more power, optimized with next-generation anti-shading technology
RENO, Nev., Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: DFLI) (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”), an industry leader in energy storage and maker of Battle Born Batteries®, today announced the availability of Battle Born’s first solar panel product line, with products available for immediate sale and shipping.
The launch marks Battle Born’s expansion into solar generation, extending its power systems’ portfolio to support complete, integrated energy solutions. The new solar panels are engineered to help customers extract more power from limited space while maintaining consistent output in shaded or variable-light conditions.
The Battle Born solar panel lineup launches with four initial models:
- Battle Born Elite 120W 12V Rigid Solar Panel
- Battle Born Elite 230W 12V Rigid Solar Panel
- Battle Born Elite 375W 24V Rigid Solar Panel (Blackout Edition)
- Battle Born 200W 12V Portable Solar Panel
At the core of the lineup is the Elite Series rigid solar panels, designed to deliver more power per panel in the same footprint. Using advanced monocrystalline cell architecture, the Elite Series achieves high module efficiencies of up to 23 percent, allowing system designers the ability to generate more energy from limited roof or mounting space while reducing panel count and installation complexity.
To further improve real-world performance, the Elite Series incorporates Battle Born ShadeGuard™ anti-shading technology. This design is engineered to help preserve usable power when panels experience partial shading, low sun angles, or inconsistent light conditions, delivering more consistent energy production throughout the day compared to conventional panel designs.
Elite Series panels are built to perform in demanding environments and feature rigid anodized aluminum frames and tempered glass construction engineered to perform under varied weather conditions such as snow loads, high winds, salt mist, and constant UV-rays. The durability makes the panels well suited for RV, marine, commercial vehicle, industrial, and off-grid power systems where stability and uptime are critical.
The product lineup also includes the Battle Born 200W 12V Portable Solar Panel, a foldable, lightweight solution designed for quick deployment and flexible use. Built with high-efficiency monocrystalline cells and integrated cabling, the portable panel is designed to provide reliable solar charging for mobile, temporary, and remote power applications.
“With the addition of our Battle Born solar panels, we’re giving customers expanded options that match the confidence and expectations they already have for our power systems,” said Tyler Bourns, chief marketing officer for Dragonfly Energy. “The focus is simple: more power from limited space and more consistent output in real-world conditions.”
