The Prime HN Ternary 16,000mAh is the entry cell in the 72×170mm semi-solid lineup, delivering 59.2Wh at just 215g and 7.8mm thickness. It matches the energy of the Volt 16k while being 80g lighter and 2.8mm thinner. With 2C charging (~30 minutes), 7C continuous, and 10C peak output, it’s optimized for efficient, lightweight endurance use with improved safety and consistency from semi-solid construction and AI manufacturing.

• 280WH/KG — 40% More Energy Density Than the Volt Ternary/LCO Platform

The High Nickel Ternary semi-solid cathode delivers 280WH/KG — 40% higher than the Volt Ternary/LCO platform (200WH/KG) and 30% higher than the Volt HV Ternary (~216WH/KG). In practical terms, the Prime 16,000 mAh stores the same 59.2Wh as the Volt 16,000mAh Ternary/LCO, in a cell that weighs 80g less (215g vs 295g) and sits 2.8mm thinner (7.8mm vs 10.6mm). For platforms where every gram of battery weight is traded directly against payload or flight time, this energy density advantage is the single most significant specification in the 72×170mm format.

• Lightest, Thinnest Cell in the 72×170mm Footprint — Across All Series

At 215g and 7.8mm, the Prime 16,000mAh is lighter and thinner than every other cell in the 72×170mm footprint across the entire Volt and Prime lineup. It is lighter than the Volt 12k (226g) despite carrying 33% more energy. It is 2.8mm thinner than the Volt Ternary/LCO 16,000mAh (10.6mm), 3.1mm thinner than the Volt HV Ternary 16,000mAh (10.9mm), and 2.2mm thinner than the Volt HV Li-Co 17k (10.0mm). For any drone frame with a fixed 72×170mm bay, this cell delivers more energy for less weight and less thickness than any alternative.

• Semi-Solid Construction — Lower Risk, More Reliable in the Field

The Prime series adopts advanced semi-solid electrolyte technology, reducing the liquid electrolyte content compared to conventional LiPo construction. This results in lower risk of liquid leakage and fire if the cell is damaged or subjected to abnormal conditions — a meaningful operational advantage for UAVs deployed in fire-fighting, emergency response, and safety-defence environments where reliability under stress is non-negotiable. The semi-solid structure is also more mechanically stable than fully liquid cells, maintaining consistent internal geometry under vibration and impact loads typical of commercial drone operations.

• 10C Peak Discharge — 160A, Built for Sustained Endurance

The Prime 16,000mAh delivers 160A peak burst and 112A continuous — rates calibrated for sustained endurance missions rather than high-burst agricultural and training applications. This is the defining trade-off of the Prime series: the same 72×170mm footprint that delivers 25C/400A peak in the Volt 16,000mAh delivers 280WH/KG and semi-solid safety in the Prime 16,000mAh at 10C/160A peak. For mapping drones, logistics UAVs, and emergency response platforms where mission duration matters more than instantaneous burst power, the Prime 16,000mAh’s rate profile is entirely appropriate and its energy density advantage is decisive.

• 2C Charge — 32A Input, ~30 Min Full Charge

Standard 2C continuous charge delivers 32A input, fully charging the cell in approximately 30 minutes. Two cells in rotation sustain continuous field operations across extended deployment windows — standard for the logistics, mapping, and emergency response applications the Prime series targets.

• AI Vision Stacking

Fully automated production line with AI-guided vision stacking ensures precise internal layer alignment and structural integrity across the 72×170mm footprint — critical for high-nickel semi-solid cells where consistent internal structure directly determines both energy density performance and safety behaviour across every production batch.
