Much improved batteries are here!

[Deane Williams]

This is great news. 

Across aerospace, aviation, robotics, and advanced mobility, engineers are pushing for longer flight times,

higher power, and lighter platforms. Achieving that leap often comes down to one critical component: the
 battery.
Amprius’ ultra-high-energy lithium-ion cells deliver up to 2× the energy density of conventional
solutions, enabling dramatic improvements in endurance, range, and payload capacity. From
high-performance drones to next-generation mobility systems, our technology is helping customers
unlock missions and designs that were previously out of reach.

Any idea what the pricing is looking like? Also are they planning on making standard form factor batteries? Third, any idea when they're actually coming to market?

Apologies if that info is on their website, but I couldn't find it with some quick browsing.

That post seemed more like an ad than about a battery specifically for typical soaring application.  Amperius makes the battery, but unless your manufacturing your own you'll need to find someone who sells the integrated packs.  A 4S is 13.6 volts. Here is one seller.  I didn't search for others.

Yes, lots more info on their website, including a catalog PDF with all technical details.

Ah, I didn't realize they were just making the cells. I'm not opposed to gutting one of my old batteries and replacing the cells, but it definitely has to be at the right price. I'm also curious if these batteries have the same battery fire concerns that so many other lipos have.

Having been involved with a few drone projects with unlimited budgets I can tell you there's still no free lunch with batteries.

If you want batteries that behave the same as your current batteries, any progress will be insignificant incremental steps that eventually add up.

If you want twice the capacity, you can already get that, but you'll have a cycle life of 10-50 charge/discharges, peak power output of <1C, and costs 100x.

I think Ampirus is exactly in that last category.
