Title:Enpower Greentech Achieved Breakthrough in Cylindrical Batteries

Date:20221104

Text:Enpower Greentech Inc. (a global solid-state battery developer based in the US, having operations in Japan, and China) has successfully developed a 4095mAh cylindrical battery, delivering industry leading energy densities of 389Wh/kg and 888Wh/L. This development has resulted in a new energy density record in the class of rechargeable 18650 cylindrical batteries. Enpower’s version, which is at least 20% lighter and is packed with at least 15% higher energy than those currently on the market, will clear the way for lighter, more energy-efficient electronic devices including, among others, drones, electric crafts, and electric cars.
