CAMX Power LLC SBIR Phase I Award, November 2022

We have developed high-power, broad temperature range Li-ion cells that can meet Air Force Artic operational needs by incorporating our high-energy high-power cathode material, a fast-charge-capable anode, and cell designs and electrolyte formulations capable of ultra-low-temperature performance.  We propose to adapt this Li-ion cell technology for powering USAF Arctic platforms.  In Phase I the basic feasibility for our proposed approach to meet specific low-temperature operational requirements will be demonstrated.  Also in Phase I, the feasibility demonstration will be used to solicit interest from the DAF, NORTHCOM, and NORAD.  The cells in this project will initially be fabricated on CAMX Power’s cell prototyping line and will be transitioned in the future programs to the cell production line that we are now establishing.
