A new agreement aims to scale lithium-ion battery cell production in the United States. The demand for innovative battery technology seems inexhaustible, but at the moment, U.S. manufacturers are falling short of meeting it domestically. Anthro Energy, a developer of advanced polymer electrolytes to enhance lithium-ion battery performance, has signed a memorandum of understanding with EnPower, Inc., a U.S. designer and manufacturer of battery cells. On this episode, we learn the details from David Mackanic, chief executive officer and co-founder of Anthro Energy. He explains the importance of keeping pace with state-of-the-art battery technology in support of drones, robotics and artificial intelligence, as well as the need for a vertically integrated domestic supply chain.
