Highlights
- In February 2024 Ensurge Micropower ASA produced the world ́s first functional commercial-scale solid-state lithium microbattery using a 10-micron stainless steel substrate.
- The Ensurge solid state microbattery will transform the market for hearables, wearables and IoT-connected sensors and we will now ramp up the manufacturing capacity to meet demand from partners and customers. The manufacturing will take place in our San Jose facility, and we plan to deliver the 10-micron battery to technology partners and customers in Q1 2024.
- With the technology challenges resolved the company will now turn its focus to revenue growth. Firstly, to deliver microbatteries to its existing customer base and technology partners. Secondly, to finalize contracts with the large pipeline of potential customers having approached the company over the last six months.
- The company has developed a leaner packaging process, resulting in lower production cost and faster cycle time when scaling up. The knowledge gained has enabled us to file more patent applications and strengthen the entry barriers for competitors.
- The company has experienced an extraordinary level of interest and demand across all targeted sectors, and has signed several evaluation agreements with leading customers within the wearables, hearables and medical sector.
- The first commercial delivery of the 150,000 unit contract is expected in Q2 2024.
- The company expects to close larger technology contracts with partners and customers over the next months where the customer pays a significant USDm up front fee.
- Ensurge aims to become the market leader for power supply to wearables, hearables and IoT-connected sensors. With a flexible form factor, safety, number of charging cycles, extraordinary pulse rate and power density, our battery fits perfectly into the needs of these customers.
- In November 2023 our battery design was recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Microbattery Design Competition.
- In December 2023 we received notification that a further three patents would be issued by the US Patent Office, making it 4 out of 4.
- In early February 2024, the company attended the Medical Battery Conference in Anaheim, California, and received significant interest from a wide variety of companies in the medical space.
