ION Storage Systems (ION), a Maryland-based manufacturer of safe, high energy density, fast-charging solid-state batteries (SSBs) announced today that its anodeless and compressionless SSB achieved a key customer - and industry - threshold with its first market deployment with the U.S. military. ION's SSB successfully achieved and exceeded 125 cycles with less than 5% capacity degradation in performance offering the potential for more than 1000 cycles in future deployments. ION has been working with the DoD to rigorously test its SSB battery before expanding into other markets including electric vehicles, energy storage, consumer electronics and aerospace.
