The Battery Lab is focused on helping users scale up battery innovations. We reserve our facility by the day and provide staff assistance throughout your visit.
Pilot-scale (18650 cylindrical or 72x110mm pouch cells) reservations are $4,500/day for first shift work, or $2,800/day for a four-hour, second shift reservation. Normally, a Pilot Line reservation will be for five days, at a total cost of $22,500 plus consumables (first shift).
The R&D Line, while less automated than the Pilot Line, offers an affordable alternative for those users with smaller quantities of active material; the R&D Line is available for $2,250/day for first shift, or $1,400/day for a four-hour, second shift reservation.
