Problem
Current energy storage options for IoT, medical wearables, and consumer electronics are limited by bulk, slow charging, low temperature tolerance, and safety concerns, which restrict device form factor, autonomy, and reliability.
Solution
BTRY offers an ultra‑thin (0.1 mm), flexible solid‑state battery that can be fully charged and discharged in one minute. The cells operate reliably up to 150 °C and provide high‑power bursts without flammable liquids, enabling safe deployment in harsh or sterilizable environments. Production uses a semiconductor‑derived, roll‑to‑roll process that reduces manufacturing steps by 60 % and leverages off‑the‑shelf equipment, making the technology scalable and cost‑effective. Batteries are supplied as continuous foils that can be integrated directly into device substrates or rolled into cylindrical forms, allowing designers to eliminate traditional battery packages. The fast‑charging capability also supports energy‑harvesting schemes, delivering maintenance‑free operation for years of autonomous use.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers of ultra‑compact IoT sensors, medical wearables/implants, and next‑generation consumer electronics that require thin, fast‑charging, and high‑temperature‑tolerant power sources.
