About

ADA specializes in the development and manufacturing of lithium ion (and beyond Li-ion) batteries and ultracapacitors for the Defense industrial base, including DoD customers and OEMs/Tier 1s. Over the years, ADA has engaged strategic DoD customers across the Department of the Air Force (DAF – USSF and USAF), Army and Navy. Our innovative safe, wide-temperature range, and high-rate zero volt technology (Safe Li-IonTM) has current and potential customer across several military and commercial applications.

Our solutions provide more than a 50% increase in energy, a 5X improvement in power, a 40-50% reduction in both weight and volume (depending on application, system design and operating conditions), and enhanced safety features including 0V storage and improved electrolytes. Whenever possible, our raw materials are sourced and domestically to strengthen supply chain resilience. 

ADA specializes in meeting mission critical performance requirements for DOD advanced energy storage applications, through innovations in automated cell production. We utilize custom-built automation equipment for flexible cell manufacturing, including our Automated Laser Electrode Cutting system (ALEC). This system can fabricate any size/shape of cell – with minimal up-front tooling NRE required.

ADA’s mission is to provide a range of products by leveraging unique capabilities, including:

  • Advanced, high-performing electrochemistries,
  • Conformal battery and ultracapacitors development tailored to mission requirements,
  • Agile manufacturing platform enables rapid development, flexible production commonality and optimum SWaP-C.
  • Drop-in replacement cell solutions for existing DoD battery pack reconfiguration
