AMTE Power secures funds for UHP project

News

AMTE Power has secured £1m of funding from the Faraday Challenge to scale up development of its Ultra High-Power (UHP) lithium-ion cell. 

Dubbed ‘Power Up’, the project will see AMTE Power working with Imperial College London on battery modelling, focussing on new ways to design its cells with a particular focus on performance, interaction between cells and thermal management. The company will be supported by the recently opened UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) in Coventry, which will provide access to gigascale production capability via the facility’s 300x100 pouch assembly line.

“Our national battery manufacturing facility is already beginning to scale up new cells and battery packs with client companies looking to set up manufacturing centres in the UK,” Jeff Pratt, managing director of UKBIC said in a statement.

“We are thrilled to be working on the Power Up project to help establish the feasibility of manufacturing AMTE Power’s Ultra High-Power Cells at volume. This is a great example of our ability to prove emergent battery products and real-world manufacturing scale up on behalf of our clients.”
