Pilot Line 2

Available in 2024

Responding to overwhelming national and international demand, the U-M Battery Lab has signed a lease on an 8,000-square-foot, off-campus facility to house the first wave of the Battery Lab expansion.

The expanded facility will contain a new, fully dry (-40°C dew point) pilot line capable of creating hundreds of cells per week in either the 21700 cylindrical, or a bipolar tabbed, 101x150mm pouch format. We’ll also refer to this as “the Ellsworth line.”
