Sandy kept feeding him the same questions without realizing it. We want to know how many fast discharge cycles it gets. What does it cost now? What are the projected costs? By when? Which parts of the manufacturing don't scale well? Etc

I loved this. The zen-like calm in this chat seems out of place given things like 0-60 in 1.5s, 0-80% charging in 6 mins, and 50% more range in the same weight of battery pack. This is revolutionary, exciting stuff.

Thanks for this interview. In addition to aircraft, I see a huge market in marine applications. Obviously loading a boat with batteries will dramatically increase the displacement and reduce efficiency. High energy density batteries will be a game changer for electric boats

This is very impressive!!! Jon is very articulate and clearly Amprius is delivering unprecedented results.

When you showed that chart that shows battery discharge levels (C) and that Amprius battery can go to 10C, it made me realize why devices "only use half the energy in the battery" going from 100% charge to "no" or "0%" charge. Because zero percent is actually where the voltage gets too low to be usable. If this is right, that means there is only 500 watt hours usable in every 1 kWh in current batteries, but up to 900 or more watt hours in every kWh of Amprius batteries. This means their battery capacity is almost double per watt hour in addition to having more power. Half the batteries needed per mile.

cool stuff Sandy! super thorough cast! glad to hear that Amprius will get those eAv's running! thanks for the episode! it's hard to believe this ev market is still in it's infancy! good luck everyone!

LiPos used by drone racing folks are rated at 60C and actually deliver such currents. Gens Tattu is one brand I'm aware of. How they differ from this Amprius stuff? Only delivering that for a few minutes and maybe a hundred cycles in their lifetime? While Amprius aims for much longer times and higher cycle count?

@lighthousesaunders7242 11 ай бұрын

Exactly

@hersheykiss9500 11 ай бұрын

Amprius has much higher energy density. high energy density batteries tend to have "low" discharge capability, and amprius is starting to touch the discharge rates of common lipos like gens tattu, which have much lower energy densities than amprius batteries. smc racing is better than gens tattu btw.

@sonytest5601 11 ай бұрын

I'm wondering what the life of such battery would be in terms of charge/discharge cycles? Especially with the mentioned 6 min charge time to 80%.

@dixikloos5352 11 ай бұрын

Apparently, it's not all sunshine and roses in Brighton. I just read about how people in the community are concerned with the usual anxiety: chemicals, fire, and explosion potential. One would think these community members would be overjoyed with the potential of Amprius, the jobs, the technology, and the potential to affect global climate change. No?

The C rate chart is charging only. Tested (not advertised) C rate discharge for common cylindrical cells are between 20C and 3C, with many popular ones in the 11.5C range. Yes, charge rates are lower at 5C or less, most around 2-2.5C

1.5 sec 0-60 sounds like near the limit of traction unless you're talking about drag racing slicks.

Fascinating information relating to the latest technologies in battery development and implementation. I am curious with the military uses if/are there concerns of keeping “the latest and best” out of the hands of bad actors.

@Johno144 11 ай бұрын

There is a lot of rose colored lens here with this battery technology. Besides cost, which comes down with economies of scale, what is the bad sides? Why doesn't everyone use/license this technology? Seems too good to be true...

@lighthousesaunders7242 11 ай бұрын

Exactly. See my questions in the comments too.

@mpetty9947 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, there must be a drawback somewhere with these batteries they aren't mentioning. Otherwise, we would be hearing of massive licensing deals.

Why is the market not responding to this major advancement in battery tech? Why isnt this more main stream news or hype about this? Something doesnt add up

@sacooper802 4 ай бұрын

they do have data sheets posted on cycle life, and its not great or bad either, its 650 cycles, understand aircraft industry more focused on energy density than cycle life, the general public comments on here crack me up. for me what is the price of this technology? can a guy building a home built aircraft, manned drone or ultralight afford a battery amprious cell flight pack, Tenergy is selling flight packs using amprious cells and its a competitive price. i was easily able to find all this data, so find it like i did. do your research lazy folks!

Again military can drive innovation as it, for a non-commercial price, can slingshot the energy-intensive cel technology. Pentagon cost high taxation, but again and again it innovates America (and the world) forward. Drones - a big deal as we see on TV daily. Sadly so btw ...
