The company designs and produces rechargeable lithium-ion cells spanning high energy density (up to 700 Wh/L on its H700 family), 10C ultra-fast charging (full charge in ~10 minutes), wide-temperature operation (-20°C to 60°C), long-life chemistries, arbitrary-shaped cells for AR/VR and wearables, steel-cased cells, and miniature pouch form factors, all developed and manufactured through the ATL Research Institute (a 20-laboratory complex with ~3,000 R&D scientists and technicians and nearly 3,000 global invention patents) and AI-enabled Smart Manufacturing operations in Dongguan and Ningde, China. ATL's technology platform is anchored by an Advanced Materials R&D Center (with over 1,500 proprietary patents), a world-class Simulation Center, and a CNAS-accredited central laboratory, with additional capacity being established in India under Apple's Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme. The company pursues a B2B enterprise sales-led GTM, selling custom-engineered cells and battery packs (including structural design, BMS development, certification, and after-sales support) to global consumer electronics OEMs across smartphones, laptops, tablets, drones, AR/VR devices, wearables, power banks, and smart home categories; named customers include Apple, DJI, and UGREEN, with partnerships extending into silicon-anode battery technology via Group14 and into power bank safety standard setting with UGREEN. Revenue is generated through quote-based, multi-year OEM contracts for both cells and integrated battery pack solutions, with custom pricing negotiated per customer and project. ATL has also signaled expansion into stationary energy storage via its EESS LIB line and committed to carbon neutrality in operations by 2040 and across the value chain by 2050.

Core offering

ATL designs, manufactures, and packages high-quality rechargeable lithium-ion battery cells and packs for global consumer electronics OEMs. Its Li-ion product family spans high energy density, high power, fast charge, arbitrary-shaped, wide-temperature, long-life, steel-cased, and miniature pouch cells, delivered as standalone cells or as end-to-end Battery Pack solutions with structural design, BMS development, certification, and after-sales support. The portfolio extends to an EESS LIB lithium battery energy storage system line tied to its sustainability initiative.

Product overview

ATL (Amperex Technology Limited) operates a single unified lithium-ion battery platform plus a portfolio of distinct cell and pack modules rather than separate software products. The core offering is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery cell and pack family built around several named product lines — the High Energy Density H700 cells, the Fast-Charging FC 10C ultra-fast charging cells, Wide-Temperature Range cells, Long-Life cells, Steel-Cased cells, Arbitrary Shaped Cells for AR/VR and wearables, and Miniature Pouch batteries — which together serve application segments such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, wearables, power banks, micro portable devices, smart home devices, and emerging categories like service robots and compact medical devices. These cell modules are integrated upward into ATL Battery Packs (which combine structural design, BMS development, flexible automation, quality control, and certification) and adjacent to an EESS LIB lithium battery energy storage system line, with the entire portfolio developed and manufactured through the ATL Research Institute and its AI-enabled smart manufacturing operations.
