This is an absolutely enormous milestone. To put this into context, there is a global race to produce a "dry electrode" (vs. the industry standard, which is to produce electrodes using a slurry). There is a reason that this is so consequential: a dry electrode could lower the cost of making batteries by up to 40%, and would also dramatically lower the amount of energy that goes into making a battery. Tesla acquired Maxwell for precisely this reason (and they are one of the key players in this race). AM Batteries ' velocity in this race has been nothing short of staggering. Delivering a testable product off of their roll-to-roll machine to a tier 1 cell maker THIS WEEK is a big deal.

We are thrilled to announce that AM Batteries has shipped its first-ever sample electrode rolls, consisting of two rolls of nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cathode, marking a significant step toward making electric vehicles more affordable and sustainable. This is the first time we’ve delivered sample rolls from our engineering pilot line, proving the scalability of our POWDER TO ELECTRODE™ dry coating method. This milestone demonstrates the potential of our innovative technology and reinforces the importance of more sustainable and cost-effective solutions for battery manufacturers. The customer validation process will help showcase how our dry electrode technology can compete with, and even outperform, traditional slurry-coated electrodes – all while reducing costs, energy consumption, and eliminating harmful solvents. Together, we are driving the future of battery innovation with greater efficiency and sustainability.
