Ateios Systems, a manufacturer of advanced battery components, recently introduced a strategic production partnership with top-tier lithium-ion manufacturers built around its RaiCore™ High Voltage Lithium Cobalt Oxide (HV LCO) product line.
The company announced several completed battery assembly pilots with leading manufacturers, including Future Power Revolution New Energy Technology (FPR) and Gigali.
According to Rajan Kumar, Ph.D., and CEO of Ateios, these partnerships support GWh-level annual production capacity for the RaiCore LCO-enabled batteries. Ateios will showcase sample cells at the Consumer Electronic Show 2025. The battery below is an optimal form factor (75-150 mAh) for wearables such as battery-integrated bands and medical patches. Ateios and SoftMatter have been working to integrate the batteries into the soft form factor. Combining the battery into the band and tapping a new surface area could double the battery life of a typical smartwatch. Ateios’ manufacturing process combines high speeds, exceptional yields, and robust quality control to substantiate its performance claims. This meticulous attention to detail fosters trust among partners and prospective customers, demonstrating that RaiCore™-enabled batteries are sure to surpass incumbent solutions in terms of performance, cost, and production scalability.
Nearly 95% of existing batteries rely on outdated manufacturing methods that produce significant CO2 emissions (approximately 93 CO2 pounds per KWh manufactured) and are the leading cause of chemical pollution.
Since launching the RaiCore™ HV LCO product line in July 2024, Ateios has demonstrated its production capabilities with samples produced on a line capable of supplying over 200 MWh of batteries at one-third of top production speed. By actively supporting customers through paid pilot programs, Ateios has leveraged these partnerships to scale commercial orders. The RaiCore HV LCO delivers more than 20% increased energy density in the leading market segment in the lithium-ion battery market, where 33% of these LCO-based batteries power consumer electronics, including cellphones and laptops. These new agreements will enable Ateios to expand its product line across various form factors and release an updated battery calculator, offering real-time insights into design, cost, and performance.
Ateios has already sold over 10 sample packs to both leading battery OEMs and startups looking to enhance their product with RaiCore LCO product line. According to the company, customer feedback on the high energy density and low environmental impact of RaiCore™ has been tremendously positive as customers advance from the sample stage to production. These partnerships will help optimize the product for other battery OEMs and enable customers to purchase Ateios’ solution directly from prominent battery manufacturers. This includes other factors like 2 Ah and 5 Ah, frequently used in smartphones, laptops, and power tools. This will ensure production capacity, quality, and competitive pricing to satisfy the varied needs of multiple applications.
“Partnering with established companies significantly reduces the upfront capital expenditures and lead times and ensures immediate availability to accelerate our customers’ qualification process and move them into production,” Kumar explained.
“Agility plays an important role in innovation, pilot production, problem-solving speed, and customer response. We always insist on a high degree of agility to ensure that we remain at the forefront of delivering industry-leading products and services,” says Hathaway Xiao, spokesperson for FPR.
The newly launched RaiCore™ HV LCO product line delivers what the company describes as “cutting-edge performance without compromising quality and cost,” with near-zero emissions (less than 10 CO2 pounds per KWh manufactured), and is free from forever chemicals. It is designed as a drop-in solution for battery OEMs seeking to offer this next-generation technology to their customers today. The RaiCore™ HV LCO is also a sustainable solution. The company received significant recognition and funding from NSF Engines: Upstate New York Energy Storage Engine. Its director, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Stan Whittingham, remarked, “We’re thrilled to support the development of technology that eliminates the need for toxic solvents and persistent chemicals,” following the announcement of the award. This grant will help accelerate the commercialization of RaiCore LCO and expand it to other chemistries such as Lithium Iron Phosphate and nickel Manganese Cobalt, which combined make up over 70% of the lithium-ion battery market.
Ateios and its partners are taking pre-orders on evaluation battery kits containing UN38.3-certified, B-type sample cells. Customers looking to sample the battery or build a custom solution based on shaping, chemistry, and electrode type can reach out to [email protected]
