Ampace (also known as Xinneng'an in the Chinese market, Chinese: 新能安) is a battery technology company specializing in the development of lithium-ion batteries for energy storage systems such as micro electric vehicles, drones, and robotics.[1]
Background
[edit]Ampace was established in April 2021 as a joint venture between Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL) and Amperex Technology Limited (ATL).[1][2] From the beginning, the company’s main focus has been on energy storage systems, micro electric vehicles, and medium-sized electronic devices, as well as research on battery technology improvement.[1][3]
Operations
[edit]Headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian province, Ampace operates in markets across North America, Europe, and Asia, among others. As of April 2023, the company reported a customer base of over 41 million across 29 countries and regions.[4]
In December 2022, the company initiated a manufacturing project in Xiamen, developing a 900-acre site dedicated to lithium-ion battery production. The facility includes production lines for battery cells, modules, and battery packs, with a projected annual production capacity of 32 gigawatt-hours (GWh).[3]
In September 2023, the company started selling the Kunlun Battery Cell, which was unveiled at the RE+ trade show in Las Vegas.[5] Kunlun is designed for stationary and solar power storage applications. It has an estimated 15,000-cycle lifespan, reported to maintain over 80% state of health (SOH) after these cycles and over 70% SOH after 20,000 cycles, aligning with the 20-year lifespan of photovoltaic equipment.[5]
In March 2024, the company introduced Jumbo Power, a battery series targeting cordless power tools in Shanghai.[1] The following month, the Ampace launched Ampace C5, an energy storage facility for both commercial and industrial use in Beijing.[1] By July, the company unveiled the Andes 1500 Portable Power Station, a portable energy storage solution with a 1,462Wh capacity and a lifespan of up to 6,000 cycles.[6][7]
In September 2024, Ampace launched the Kun-Era batteries for electric motorcycles at the 22nd China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition.[8] In December of the same year, the company introduced the JP30 cylindrical lithium battery, featuring a compact 18650 specification size and improvements in discharge rate, charging efficiency, and cycle life.[9][10]
In January 2025, the company revealed its E30P Cell at the Bharat Battery Show.[11] The E30P Cell is a high-capacity 35205 cylindrical lithium-ion battery featuring Ampace's Boost Power (BP) system, which enhances energy density, safety, and thermal stability, supports fast charging with 95% capacity reached in 47 minutes, and is designed for applications including electric motorcycles, scooters, and maxi-scooters.[11]
Technology and products
[edit]Ampace engages in battery technology research, focusing on improvements in energy density, thermal management, charging capabilities, and incorporating battery management systems to monitor performance and maintain safety standards.[citation needed]
