Forge Battery

Welcome to Forge Battery. Best in class, U.S.-made lithium-ion batteries, powered by Forge Nano, Inc. Atomic Armor. Visit our website for more information and to join our mailing list: www.forgebattery.com

"Forge Battery raised the average energy density of 250 Wh/kg in most 21700 cells to 300 Wh/kg. That's a 20% increase, which may become even higher depending on the battery pack construction."

Did you miss the Volta Foundation webinar?   Watch the replay or download the slides at the link below.   During the panel, Forge Nano's VP of Energy Storage Barbara Hughes, discusses how Forge Nano’s proprietary Atomic Layer Deposition technology, Atomic Armor, optimizes battery materials by applying protective nanocoatings engineered to improve battery product performance and lifetime. The webinar covered Forge Nano’s work on high-nickel NMC, graphite and silicon anodes, and gives a glimpse into the newly formed Forge Battery, which intends to produce cylindrical cells using ALD-coated materials at gigawatt hour scale. https://lnkd.in/eWn5umCA

Forge Battery today announced it has begun bulk shipments of the company’s prototype 300 Wh/kg 21700 cylindrical lithium-ion battery cells to existing customers and potential partners. Forge Battery’s “Gen. 1.1 Supercell” is being shipped to current customers, who account for multiple GWh/year in confirmed offtake. Since the announcement of the Morrisville Gigafactory in November 2023, the company has received “Letters of Intent” (LOIs) totaling 24 GWh/yr. The “Gen. 1.1 Supercell” has a confirmed specific energy of 300 Wh/kg without the typical compromise in cycle life. Forge Battery expects its A-Sample cells will meet or exceed industry standard lifetimes suitable for its intended target customer markets, which include electric trucks, off-highway vehicles, motorcycles and aerospace and Department of Defense (DoD) applications. Comprised of a lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC 811) cathode and silicon oxide (SiOx) graphite composite anode, the Forge Battery “Gen. 1.1 Supercell” expects to outperform energy density targets set by the United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) with a 20% cost reduction per kWh. The high-performance metrics are attained through enablement of high amounts of active silicon content and greater stability of cathode active materials at high voltage, while cost metrics are a result of the reduction of electrolyte and electrolyte additives. Forge Battery’s cell materials are coated using Forge Nano, Inc.’s proprietary Atomic Armor™ atomic layer deposition technology, which coats materials with an ultrathin, uniform and robust nanocoating that prevent unwanted chemical reactions at the surface. Forge Battery expects to begin commercial production of its Supercells at a newly constructed Gigafactory outside of Raleigh, North Carolina in 2026. Forge Battery’s cells intend to use a material supply chain comprised of materials produced in the United States, with 90 percent of cell contents sourced from U.S entities. Forge Battery’s “Gen. 1.1 Supercell” currently utilizes 100 percent of its cathode and anode materials from U.S suppliers, with additional cell materials sourced via South Korea.

Forge Battery... meet US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm. Today, Forge Nano, Inc. CEO Paul Lichty and representatives from Forge Battery met with the US Secretary of Energy and North Carolina Governor Ray Cooper at Wake Technical Community College just minutes away from the Forge Battery facility. We look forward to working closely with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and local North Carolina elected officials to build the US' energy future in the heart of the Battery Belt.

Forge Battery intends to produce best-in-class lithium-ion battery cells for defense, aerospace and specialty electric vehicle markets at a newly constructed Gigafactory in Raleigh, North Carolina.    Forge Battery will utilize Forge Nano's Atomic Armor to produce first generation high-energy cells with an expected energy density of 300 Wh/kg. The company plans to utilize a U.S-focused battery material supply chain to further bolster the domestic battery ecosystem and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.    Read more about Forge Battery here: https://lnkd.in/ggnWQt2Z https://lnkd.in/ggnWQt2Z
