This production level supports the manufacturing of up to\n \n 1.5 million HPQ ENDURA+ and/or NOVACIUM-branded 18650 lithium-ion battery cells annually\n \n .\n \n\n\n “Our ability to produce sufficient material for over a million high-performance battery cells per year is a tangible demonstration of the commercial readiness of our GEN3 technology,”\n \n said Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon Inc. and Novacium SAS\n \n . “By leveraging existing large-scale battery production facilities, we can bring advanced cells to market without delay and at competitive cost, while continuing to scale our material output.”\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Partial Image of HPQ ENDURA+ 18650 datasheet\n \n\n\n\n [\n \n\n Click here to download full\n \n\n\n 18650\n \n\n\n datasheet\n \n\n ]\n \n\n\n As outlined in our\n \n June 18, 2025, press release\n \n , cell production will be subcontracted to a large-scale battery manufacturer with the infrastructure already in place to meet the required volumes\n \n [2]\n \n . This approach enables HPQ and Novacium to rapidly transition from material production to commercial-scale battery cell deployment, without the need to invest in costly new facilities.\n \n\n For context, comparable 18650 cells currently available on the market—\n \n\n typically offering lower energy density and shorter cycle life\n \n\n —retail between\n \n US$4.50 and U...
