NanoGraf wins $1 Million contract from U.S Department of Defense to develop battery technology for the U.S. Army

NanoGraf has announced that it won a $1 million development contract from the Department of Defense to produce a more powerful, longer-lasting 4.3Ah lithium-ion battery. The cell will aim to provide U.S. military personnel with enhanced run-time for the equipment they rely on to operate safely and efficiently.

This is the second Department of Defense project won by NanoGraf. In 2021, the company developed the world’s longest-running 3.8Ah 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion cell, at 800 watt-hours per liter (Wh/L). This cell will is meant to go into volume production in the Spring of 2022.
