Company Description
Amprius Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: AMPX) is a manufacturing company focused on high-energy and high-power lithium-ion batteries built on a proprietary Silicon Anode Platform. According to company disclosures, Amprius produces what it describes as the industry’s highest-known energy density cells, targeting demanding applications where weight, endurance, and power delivery are critical.
The company develops, manufactures, and markets lithium-ion batteries and silicon anode cells that are used in mobility applications, including aviation, electric vehicles (EVs), and light electric vehicles (LEVs). Its batteries are used in existing and emerging aviation applications, including unmanned aerial systems such as drones and high-altitude pseudo satellites. Amprius’ technology is designed to provide extended flight times and higher payload capacity for electric aviation customers in commercial, industrial, defense, and public safety segments.
Core technology and products
Amprius’ business centers on its silicon anode lithium-ion battery technology. The company states that its commercially available SiCore® and SiMaxx™ batteries can deliver up to 450 Wh/kg and 1,150 Wh/L, with third-party validation of 500 Wh/kg and 1,300 Wh/L. In some communications, Amprius also highlights a 520 Wh/kg battery model that has been recognized by the Consumer Technology Association as a Best of Innovation honoree in the Sustainability & Energy Transition category.
The company emphasizes that its high-energy-density cells can deliver more than twice the energy of many lithium-ion batteries at the same weight, which can translate into longer missions and increased payload capacity for electric aviation platforms. Amprius’ cells are described as providing both burst power for takeoff and sustained energy for extended flight, supporting safety-related functions such as obstacle avoidance and return-to-home capabilities.
End markets and applications
According to its public statements, Amprius serves a range of high-performance applications across:
- Aviation and aerospace – including unmanned aerial systems (UAS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and advanced air mobility platforms.
- Electric mobility – including electric vehicles and light electric vehicles.
- Defense, security, and public safety – where endurance, reliability, and secure supply chains are important.
- Industrial and infrastructure monitoring – such as drone-based inspection and emergency response systems.
The company has highlighted integrations of its SiCore® cells into next-generation drone systems, where its batteries are used to power drone-in-a-box platforms and other UAV solutions. These deployments are intended to support missions that require long range, high reliability, and the ability to carry advanced payloads.
Manufacturing footprint and capacity
Amprius states that its corporate headquarters is in Fremont, California, where it maintains a research and development lab and a manufacturing facility for the fabrication of silicon anodes and cells. Company communications describe this facility as operating at MWh scale for silicon anode and cell production.
To meet customer demand, Amprius reports that it has entered into several agreements to secure more than 2.0 GWh of contract manufacturing capacity worldwide. The company has also announced the formation and expansion of the Amprius Korea Battery Alliance, a consortium of Korean companies across the lithium-ion battery value chain, including materials, components, and production equipment. Through this alliance and other partnerships, Amprius aims to broaden its global manufacturing network and align its operations with requirements such as the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), particularly for defense and critical infrastructure customers.
Supply chain and international partnerships
Amprius has described a strategy of building a globally integrated ecosystem that connects research, production, and market access across multiple regions. The Amprius Korea Battery Alliance is intended to strengthen the company’s supply chain by collaborating with battery manufacturers, materials suppliers, cell component producers, equipment makers, and investment partners in South Korea.
According to company announcements, alliance members are working with Amprius on SiCore® battery cell production, electrode innovation, and equipment manufacturing. The company positions these collaborations as a way to enhance scalability, improve cost efficiency, and support customers in electric mobility, clean energy, and aviation markets.
