Company Description
Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol DFLI, with DFLIW as its warrant symbol) is described as a comprehensive lithium battery technology company focused on energy storage and advanced battery systems. The company specializes in cell manufacturing, battery pack assembly, and full system integration, positioning itself across multiple stages of the lithium battery value chain.
According to its public disclosures, Dragonfly Energy operates through its Battle Born Batteries® brand, which has deployed hundreds of thousands of lithium battery packs in the field through top-tier original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and a diverse retail customer base. The company’s products and systems are used in applications such as recreational vehicles (RVs), marine vessels, rail applications, heavy-duty trucking, off-grid and commercial power systems, and other energy storage use cases.
Dragonfly Energy emphasizes lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) technology and has developed a patented dry electrode manufacturing process that it describes as chemistry-agnostic, supporting power solutions for energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics. The company states that its overarching mission is the future deployment of proprietary, nonflammable, all-solid-state battery cells.
Business model and operations
Public statements indicate that Dragonfly Energy combines fundamental research and development with brand-driven commercial sales. The company reports that its research focuses on dry aerosol-based processes for manufacturing battery electrodes, replacing conventional wet slurry-based processes. This approach is described as enabling cost reductions in conventional lithium-ion battery production and supporting the production of cells with composite all-solid-state electrolytes.
Dragonfly Energy reports that it engineers and assembles smart storage systems that it markets and sells into focused commercial sectors, including RV, marine, rail, and trucking. It highlights a strategy of vertical integration, noting that it is already known as a battery pack and system provider, while also working to integrate upstream as a cell manufacturer. The company references a growing global patent portfolio, including patents related to its dry electrode process, solid-state electrolyte feedstocks, and Wakespeed® charge control technology for transferring power from towing vehicles to trailers.
End markets and applications
Dragonfly Energy identifies several key end markets for its systems and technologies:
- Recreational vehicles (RVs): The company reports increasing penetration of lithium-based energy systems in RVs and notes that its systems are becoming more common as standard equipment at various RV OEMs.
- Marine: Through partnerships such as with World Cat, described as a major power catamaran manufacturer, Dragonfly Energy’s Battle Born® systems have been integrated into specific boat models to support onboard electrical loads.
- Heavy-duty trucking: The company has developed the Battle Born® DualFlow Power Pack and an all-electric auxiliary power unit (APU) aimed at idle reduction by powering hotel loads during rest periods without engine idling. It has reported a commercial order from Werner Enterprises following a pilot program.
- Rail: Dragonfly Energy has announced a distribution partnership with National Railway Supply and participation in the development of an American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) lithium battery standard for railroad applications.
- Off-grid and commercial power: The company has introduced Battle Born® Power Station products, described as industrial-grade portable power stations for professional and off-grid use, and has expanded its Battle Born portfolio with inverter/chargers, Base Series batteries, and a mobile app for system monitoring and control.
Technology and intellectual property
Dragonfly Energy highlights its position in domestic lithium battery cell production, citing a patented dry electrode manufacturing process that it states can deliver chemistry-agnostic power solutions. The company reports holding a growing portfolio of nearly 100 filed, pending, or granted patents, covering areas such as:
- Dry electrode manufacturing processes for lithium-ion batteries.
- Powderized ionically conducting feedstock for constructing solid-state electrochemical cells with non-flammable, lithium-conductive composite electrolytes.
- Wakespeed® charge control technology for transferring power from towing vehicles to trailers to charge onboard batteries.
In its communications, Dragonfly Energy links this intellectual property to its evolution into a complete power systems provider, combining cell technology, pack design, and integrated system solutions.
Capital markets and listing status
Dragonfly Energy’s common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol DFLI, and its warrants trade under DFLIW.
