Built for Safety, Power Density, and Capital Efficiency
AIion is designing and manufacturing advanced lithium-ion and next-generation battery systems for mission-critical infrastructure. Our flagship Safe Li-Ion™ chemistry platform is purpose-built for data centers, AI compute facilities, critical backup power in addition to needs of the Department of War, while our Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) systems target high-endurance drones and autonomous platforms.
We serve U.S. Department of War programs and OEM partners, and we are scaling our technology to meet the rapidly growing demands of commercial hyperscale and AI infrastructure—where performance, safety, footprint, and total cost of ownership (TCO) are paramount.
Safe Li-Ion™
A New Standard for UPS and Data Center Backup Power
As AI workloads drive unprecedented power density and uptime requirements, legacy backup solutions—lead-acid and conventional lithium-ion—are becoming bottlenecks. Safe Li-Ion™ batteries are engineered to remove those constraints.
Safety-First Architecture
Safe Li-Ion™ chemistries enables 0-volt (0V) storage and handling, dramatically reducing fire risk during installation, maintenance, and idle storage. This directly addresses one of the largest operational and insurance concerns facing modern data centers.
Optimized for AI Loads
High-rate performance supports short-duration, high-power events common in AI data centers—bridging power during grid instability or generator spin-up without oversizing the system.
Reduced Cooling and Operating Burden
Wide operating temperature capability lowers HVAC demand, enabling deployment in:
- Constrained retrofit environments
- Hyperscale facilities
- Modular and edge data centers
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Long cycle life, high power density, and improved safety reduce:
- Insurance and compliance costs
- Replacement frequency
- Downtime risk
Higher Power in Less Space
Our platform delivers:
- >50% increase in usable energy
- ~5× improvement in power capability
- 40–50% reduction in weight and footprint (application-dependent)

Manufacturing Timeline
Limited Rate Initial Production (LRIP)
LRIP is the initial scaleup from laboratory building to initial production level using proprietary processes for mixing, roll-to-roll (R2R) coating, calendering, and automated laser electrode cutting (ALEC) along with semi-automated pouch forming, sealing and electrolyte injection. LRIP products will be used for testing and qualifying products to a customer specification.
Pilot Scale Production
Pilot scale production equipment will be installed to continue the scale up process, reestablish ISO 9001:2015 certification and produce small to medium run quantities for customer purchases and prospect qualifications. This facility will provide for rapid tooling changes to produce a variety of different product configurations for small to medium quantity orders.
High Speed Fully Automated Production
High volume continuous production in a fully automated operation will be needed to meet major customer demand for UPS and back up reserve batteries in data centers and other market demands. This facility will be a large scale focused facility and system infrastructure to meet the challenging demands for energy sustainability
