I am so glad you did a video on them!!! Hopefully, this initial scaling of Freemont will prove out and then roll out to their Colorado facility. They are focusing on AIR TRAVEL first to focus on profitability and then will move down stream!

Sandy Munroe did a tour of the Amprius facility awhile ago. I'm a share holder in Amprius AMPX.

Sandy Munro seems to think Amprius is for real. He's a pretty clear-headed analyst.

You should also make a video of HOW would all these si anodes get their silane gas from…. OneD, Group 14 and Sila nano has co located in Moses Lake, just next to REC silicon(RECSI) Amprius has mentioned RECSI in its report. This norwegian company has the largest container fleet and market leader in silane gas, which ALL these anode companies need… Mcap is just 0.5 busd… If all these companies is going to mass scale they need to expand alot cause RECSI is the only provider in US to deliver these volumes in the beginning. Silane gas going to be the new gold… Not only will this company be a major player delivering to these battery anodes, but also have one of the biggest factories to supply to semi market and solar. That means 3 megatrends in the years to come!

Well the Electric Viking is now a major player, as your report has seemed to moved the market. I decided to invest after seeing today's 20% (and counting) gap up. You have excellent coverage. Thank you. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. ❤️

Snap sweet. My son was to busy a the time to follow my take a punt and lost out on the first 20% gain but has bought some anyway. Battery is high risk though.

Bit of luck always helps

It was rumoured that they had difficulty scaling the manufacturing process , there were also a lot of insider sales which does not inspire confidence

I watched many interviews and read many reports. None of the discuss the longevity or cycle life of Si-anode battery, as if they are trying to evade the subject. I read an independent study that they can only cycle about 100 - 300 times before swelling problems hit. they probably can improve on this figure, but not by much at least not even close to the current LFP batteries.

Someone that actually does DD! The problem is the current battery architectures cannot support this. It’s a material company. One that Solid State is far superior with an easier, but still difficult, path to both solving the problem and scaling the solution. Yes the only batteries they have sold are for planes that are built to blow up or glide at very low speeds…roughly sold to a 200 cycle spec again at low discharge rates. Solid state can do that today but doesn’t care to sell to this market. The winners in this space will be architecture and that’s Solid State or something like and Enovix if they can ever break out of the consumer market into EVs. Solid State is the clearest path. Aside from that it’s drop in materials lie Sila that give a step increase rather than a generational one. No way tesla is looking at this company. It’s actually laughable

$AMPX is up 60% in the 2 days since the Electric Viking's release of this video. By all means, keep talking Mr. Viking! Nice find! As Warren Buffett says, investing is largely a game of turning over more rocks than your fellow investors. Your channel is the best in class. 🌟

Having a little "contest" between Amprius and Tesla may result in better batteries yet. If Amprius really can meet that energy density goal, I think the first big market for the new batteries will be Tesla Semi and other large over the road trucks. If the battery can give the range necessary, and still allow the trucks to haul standard maximum payloads, that will be a game changer in the transportation sector.

Excellent video Electric Viking. 3/15/24 And the winner is...Amprius Technologies, Inc. !!! For the second year running, amprius has been voted by our battery industry peers as Best of Show at the 41st International Battery Seminar and Exhibit! For developing and bringing to market the 400Wh/kg, 10C charge/discharge cell that blew the minds of our industry peers and brought home the coveted prize this year.

1000 miles = 1600 kms, 16 kWh per 100 kms consumption means the battery is 256 kWh capacity. 80% is over 200kWh. 200 kWh in 8 minutes, plus charging losses, would require 4 Tesla semi truck superchargers all running at full output, all charging the one car battery at the same time. In other news, Tesla releases low cost compact modular nuclear reactors for the masses, to conveniently charge your new Tesla Model FFS, in the comfort of your own home.

Sam, I have so many questions that you have not covered here. What is the expected cost per Kwh for the Amprius battery when it comes out at scale? What is the expected industry standard cost per Kwh at that date? What is the expected degradation rate when the battery is discharged/recharged? How many cycles can it handle before being unusable as a plane/car/bus battery?

Sandy Munroe has visited this company. Tech is too expensive for cars currently.

Lots of insider selling and dilution coming as well. Market is only going to reward EV for this company…not airplanes built to blow up for a few thousand dollars a battery and pseudo satellites. It’s just a very limited market. If they prove out cycle life it’s a game changer but then they also have to prove out cost. Remember, Tesla owns the market and they make money off cheap batteries that can supercharge. Density is not a major issue. Only thing that matters is fast charge. But cost of battery is what is the main driver above even that. Those costs are dropping significantly by the year. 200 cycles is the norm for them. 1200 is the best they have done and that’s VERY questionable

Enovix is a far better battery stock. Here's why - they have full silicon anodes just like Amprius and similar energy density but they don't use nanotech to make them - what does this mean - scaling production is far easier, and cost of production will be cheaper. Also their new management are semicondutor veteran studs that have done high production of numerous products successfully many times before.

Enovix has also been public 14 months longer, sold less batteries, has less customers, made less revenue, and none of their customers are investing in them.

Nothing new here because i have been on his coaching scheme for over 8 months now and the outcome has been wonderful.

They've been "scaling up" for many years that's why the shares plummeted like that. Many people just lost patience with them. All talk no walk. Sandi had an interview with them recently and they are still playing around with very very tiny (lab-size) quantities (nowhere near scaling of any sort)

There is a lot more to a battery than wh/kg like heat, cold, efficiency, cycle live, shell life, balance time, internal resistance, production cost and so on.

I've bought BYD, Tesla, and a few of the battery stocks, including Amprius. None have performed particularly well over the last eighteen months. After new year's day I'm planning to sell it all off and buy bitcoin. After I triple (or better) my money in eighteen months maybe I will circle back to see if any are worth buying again.

Amprius batteries would actually make the Cyber Truck run over 500 miles at 80mph. So really excellent. Worthwhile. Means I could make my doctor's appointment for 1/4th the cost and be more rested than now. Not sure what the ambient noise level is at 80mph but with that massive air filter I won't be sucking carbon monoxide fumes like in my old Mazda MPV and my guess is the fm radio probably sounds pretty good. Catalytic converter thieves, don't need to ever worry again.

Amprius silicon rich battery will always be too expensive for cars... they have contracts with army, airbus and numerous e-aircraft companies, may be ok for formula-e or super cars but probably would never be on model Y or any other consumer car... actually degradation is very low, so it can be recharged 1000's of times, but production costs are sky high...

It’s not the high range…. It’s the density meaning same range less weight

The company's biggest challenge at present is that large-scale mass production is too slow. Although California has just expanded to 2MW, this small amount of production capacity is far from meeting customer needs. Although Colorado's production capacity is planned to be 5GW, the current planning progress is From 2025 to 2028, I dare not imagine whether the battery progress during this period will be much faster than the speed at which they build factories.

You can expect these to be too expensive for EV use for a number of years. Hopefully they will eventually get them down to an acceptable cost for EVs.

I had a tendency to run out and buy some shares right away - and then I thought of some questions. So I went to their website and asked the following. I am interested in the potential for your batteries to be used in electric vehicles. The type of battery emerging in that arena which seems potentially most favoured has Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry. 1. It is noted as having very low deterioration through a great many cycles of use and recharging 2. It is noted as being less vulnerable to fire and it is making gains in market share despite somewhat lower energy density than earlier battery chemistries. To compare: 1. How much percentage energy storage capacity deterioration would your batteries experience over 5000 cycles being significantly discharged through use and then recharged? 2. What temperature is required to ignite a fire with your unprotected batteries and what is the likely peak temperature experienced in such a fire? Or, in a less specific manner how would you characterize the length of life and fire challenges posed by your batteries compared to Li Fe Phosphate batteries now being supplied in Tesla or other top EV's? Thank you for considering my questions. I'll decide about investing according to what I hear or don't hear from them.

My comments seem to play hide and seek! Perhaps the most significant point which seems to have disappeared is that the company made a direct response to me about my concerns in response to questions I directly asked them. Their batteries have about the same lifetime as those of an IPhone - well short of the 8 year guarantee on my Tesla 2170 cell based battery. And the 2170 has a lot less lifetime than the LI Fe Phosphate batteries becoming increasingly prevalent. With respect to my fire concerns they said nothing about ignition or peak temperatures - so you have to wonder. They did note their batteries could pass the military nail penetration test reassuring for soldiers wearing a battery - but only if the battery were charged significantly less than their peak energy density. Still, they passed at a still high energy density. For me the most impressive feature of the company was the presence of Dr Stephen Chu on the board. That guy impresses me as not just technically brilliant but also of very great charcter. To me that says they must be a good company. But others can still play games with their stock.

Yep an cheers mate

What's the current price per kwh? I assume it's expensive. They can start out with the drone and eVTOL market. For automotive, it may take a few years, for them develop a track record, so that people are ready to make the switch from more established players.

These are needed for the aviation industry. Joby and Archer can greatly benefit from the power to weight ratio.

Did they scrub the Colorado factory plan? Residence nearby are not happy with the factories location.

May trade range anxiety for replacement pack anxiety. "In terms of durability and lifecycle, Amprius is claiming 90% capacity retention after 1,200 cycles in its eVTOL flight protocol testing for its 370 Wh/kg packs, which consists of 30- to 45-minute trips, 15 minutes of charging, and eight to 12 trips per day." I wonder what is the 80% cycle life? That would be a more relevant comparison.

Happy new Year Sam. I think you might do well to take more note of the difference between meanings of 'cell' and 'battery'. Otherwise - interesting reporting.

I'll hazard a guess that it could be a reason similar to Tesla's dry-4680 shortage: they got the tech to work on a small exploratory scale but not on a scale sufficient for mass-produced EVs. Amprius' silicon electrodes involve growing silicon sticks on a substrate. Growing uniform nano-crystals is an intrinsically slow and delicate process, you aren't going to roll 10 4680s per second per manufacturing line like you can by pressing anode/cathode material on copper/aluminum foil current collector. If the manufacturing throughput per production line cannot go to the moon, then these cells will be limited to niche markets that can afford the reduced productivity.

Bornstein is a founder with a couple million $0.05 stock options to burn through before they expire. He filed a plan to exercise and sell 150k options per month last May. That plan went into effect when the insider lock came off in September. He's sold 150k/month since and likely will for many more months. It's part of his compensation plan and doesn't say much about the company or his faith in the company.

@@Grimwyrd Fair point although there were some 370,000 insider shares sold in December and as far as I can see no public announcement. Maybe 2024 will be their year?

Yeah great tech. This is why the stock had plummeted and keeps going down every single day around 5 percent

Is the potential growth of Amprius with Tesla better than QuantumScape and VW? QuantumScape says their simpler battery will outperform Amprius with longevity and cost.

investing in it is a good idea.... I already invested a couple of thousands... I believe it's the most brilliant battery startup...

These would be for aircraft for sure.

I think Elon believes this battery is better for aviation small batch production.

Imagine a 2000 mile Aptera…

Best battery tech is a 12 volt lead acid battery hooked to an ICE car.

Have they tackled the longevity issue with the silicon based battery?

Stock price has fallen because it was a SPAC, and I think Wall Street has learned their lesson on those. Look at price history of Quantumscape, another SPAC.

Betamax was better than VHS. The race doesn't always go to the best technology. The problem is financing expansion. Tesla's non-involvement is telling....maybe Musk is hoping to pick up the company cheap?

Why are insiders selling the stock if its so good and going to go bonkers? For the same reason why Tesla is not buying them. May be?

Nano Dimension which already changed from subtractive PCBs to additive ones (by using the Dragonfly IV) is a way better option than this battery company.
