At the World Drone Conference, Enpower Energy officially launched its 'Sky Horizon' series of aviation-grade solid-state batteries, designed to push the performance boundaries of industrial drones and eVTOL aircraft. The series includes six cells ranging from 22Ah to 57Ah, all achieving an energy density exceeding 400Wh/kg.
The flagship 45Ah cell stands out with a volume reduction of over 15%, supporting 4C continuous discharge and operating reliably across a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. This directly addresses critical gaps in payload capacity, flight endurance, and low-temperature performance that have long challenged industrial UAV applications.
This means that commercial drone operators, logistics companies, and eVTOL manufacturers can now achieve longer flight times and heavier payloads without increasing battery size or weight. The wide operating temperature range also enables reliable performance in harsh environments, from arctic delivery routes to desert surveillance missions. As the low-altitude economy expands, such high-performance solid-state batteries become a key enabler for scalable, all-weather drone operations.
According to the company, these advancements are based on proprietary solid-state electrolyte technology, significantly reducing safety risks associated with traditional liquid electrolytes. Data from the launch indicates that the 45Ah cell maintains over 80% capacity after 1,000 cycles, offering lower total cost of ownership for fleet operators.
Insight: This advancement underscores the need for specialized power systems in UAVs. We enable cost-effective, customized small-batch drone battery solutions with rapid prototyping.
