Orbia completed a 2Ah stacked pouch design cell build in 2025.
We had heard of UM’s reputation for good quality, value, flexibility, and ability to test cells after the build.
The build went very well and we were able to fill, form, and complete 4C fast charge cycling on several cells with Orbia high performance electrolytes, while the remainder of dry stack pouches were sent to our technical center in Madison WI for performance testing. We were able to be onsite for the entire week to see the whole process from start to finish and react in real time to any issues that arose.
UM was very flexible to accommodate multiple different cell performance testing protocols and the data provided was instrumental to advance our development project. It also helped that UM is integrated with Voltaiq to make the data acquisition seamless.
Overall, we were really pleased with the whole process at UM and plan to be back for future projects
