On December 12, 2024, Ampace, a global energy innovation leader, introduced its groundbreaking JP30 cylindrical lithium battery. Marked by the tagline "Compact Form, Uninterrupted Power," the JP30 sets new industry standards by blending unmatched power density with compact engineering. This cutting-edge release promises to push the boundaries of mobile power solutions across various industries.
During the launch event, Dr. Yuan Qingfeng, CTO of Ampace, revealed how the JP30 overcomes the limitations of the traditional 18650 battery: “The industry believed the 18650 was the pinnacle of battery technology. The JP30 rewrites this narrative with innovations in electrode architecture, thermal management, and material science."
The JP30's specifications set a new benchmark in performance:
· 36A continuous discharge with a 140A pulse capacity (5-second burst)
· 20% capacity boost, reaching 3.0Ah compared to the older 2.5Ah models
· Reliable operation in extreme conditions, down to -40°C
· 10-minute 80% charge capability, 60% faster than traditional batteries
· 600+ charge cycles at 9A charge/30A discharge (3x the lifespan of an 18650)
· 1,000+ cycles at 6A charge/20A discharge
Dr. Yuan highlighted the JP30's real-world impact, noting, "With two JP30 units, we can sustain continuous operations in harsh outdoor conditions where previously three units were necessary." The new pulse discharge technology enables the JP30 to handle demanding industrial applications, including steel cutting and concrete drilling.
The JP30 addresses key challenges in modern power tools with impressive capabilities:
1. Enhanced Productivity: Thanks to rapid charging, workers can reduce battery swaps significantly.
2. Economic Efficiency: The JP30 delivers 72% lower lifetime costs compared to legacy systems.
3. Versatile Operation: The battery operates effectively in extreme environments, including Arctic conditions and high-vibration scenarios.
Ampace's proprietary SuperCharge technology ensures the JP30’s rapid recharge capability, while the upgraded Negative Temperature Protection (NTP) system guarantees stable power delivery even in high-thermal-stress situations.
The JP30 marks a significant milestone for Ampace as the company strengthens its leadership in advanced energy solutions. Looking ahead, Ampace is developing the next generation of JP series products that promise to expand cross-industry applications, such as in medical devices and aerospace systems. Ampace also aims to introduce AI-driven battery management systems and continue its commitment to sustainable, closed-loop production processes.
As Dr. Yuan summarized, “The JP30 is more than just a battery. It’s a paradigm shift in mobile power management, setting the stage for future innovations that combine performance, sustainability, and user-centric design.”
Ampace’s global release of the JP30 supports its strategic goal of capturing 35% of the high-power battery market by 2026. With a $200M investment in R&D for solid-state battery technologies, the company is poised to lead the charge in the future of energy innovation.
