Group14 Technologies, a manufacturer of advanced silicon battery materials, announced a major performance benchmark: SCC55 is enabling silicon battery manufacturers to consistently achieve over 1,500 charge cycles—and in some cases more than 3,000—cross a range of applications.

For years, the goal of the silicon battery industry has been to meet 1,000 charge cycles—the benchmark for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Data recently gathered from more than 20 Group14 customers using SCC55 exceeds 1,500 cycles across a range of applications, while maintaining silicon batteries’ key benefits: higher energy density and fast-charging.

This level of capability has major implications for the total cost of ownership, particularly across battery-dominant sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs), electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs), and energy storage systems (ESS) in AI data centers.

Compatible with a range of battery formats, including LFP, LMFP, and high-nickel chemistries, Group14’s silicon battery material is already powering millions of products worldwide. SCC55 is delivering silicon battery performance across a range of EVs, AI-enabled devices, eVTOLs, and grid applications.
