Description

The Prime SHV LCO 20,000mAh is the thinnest and lightest cell in the 87×187mm format at just 8.3mm and 306g. It delivers 79.0Wh at 3.95V, supports 2C fast charging (~30 minutes), and provides 5C continuous and 10C peak output. Built with semi-solid construction and AI precision manufacturing, it offers a compact, safe, and high-performance design.

• 8.3mm — Thinnest Cell in the Entire 87×187mm Footprint

At 8.3mm, the Prime SHV LCO 20,000mAh is thinner than every cell in the 87×187mm format across all Volt and Prime series. The next thinnest is the Volt HV Li-Co 22,000mAh at 9.6mm — 1.3mm thicker. The Prime HN Ternary 27,000mAh is 9.8mm. The Volt HV Ternary 22,000mAh is 10.5mm. The Volt HV Li-Co 28,000mAh is 11.6mm. For any drone platform with an 87×187mm battery bay where depth is strictly limited, no cell in this footprint fits thinner than the Prime SHV LCO 20,000mAh.

• 306g — Lightest Cell in the Entire 87×187mm Footprint

At 306g, this is the lightest cell available in the 87×187mm format across every series. The Volt HV Li-Co 22,000mAh — the lightest liquid-electrolyte cell in this footprint — weighs 363g, which is 57g heavier. The Prime HN Ternary 27,000mAh weighs 365g. At 306g, the Prime SHV LCO 20,000mAh is not marginally lighter than the alternatives — it leads the entire footprint by a clear margin. For any platform where battery weight in the 87×187mm bay has a direct impact on payload capacity or flight time margin, this cell provides the largest weight saving available in this format.

• Thinner Than the 17,000mAh Cell It Steps Up From

The Prime SHV LCO 17,000mAh — the cell directly below this one in the family — measures 9.3mm in the smaller 72×170mm footprint. The 20,000mAh steps up 3,000mAh, moves to the larger 87×187mm footprint, and is 1.0mm thinner at 8.3mm. This is the SHV LCO chemistry’s energy density advantage at work: the larger footprint of the 87×187mm format distributes the additional cell material across a greater planar area, allowing the thickness to decrease even as capacity increases. The result is a physically slimmer cell carrying more energy in a larger bay.

• 3.95V — Highest Voltage Platform in the 87×187mm Footprint

The 3.95V nominal platform is the highest per-cell voltage of any cell in the 87×187mm footprint. Every Volt cell in this format operates at 3.8V. Every Prime HN Ternary cell in this format operates at 3.7V. The Prime SHV LCO 20,000mAh is the entry point to the 3.95V platform in the 87×187mm bay — the only cell in this footprint that delivers the super high voltage LCO discharge profile for systems designed around it. For drone platforms and motor controllers architected around a higher per-cell voltage where the elevated discharge voltage directly affects pack voltage levels, ESC input range, and system efficiency, the SHV LCO 20,000mAh is the only 87×187mm cell that meets this requirement at minimum weight and thickness.

• 280WH/KG — 79.0Wh at 306g

The Super High Voltage LCO semi-solid cathode stores 79.0Wh at 280WH/KG in 306g — the most stored energy per gram of any cell in the 87×187mm footprint. The Volt HV Li-Co 22,000mAh stores 83.6Wh in 363g: more total energy, but at a higher weight. The Prime HN Ternary 27,000mAh stores 99.9Wh but weighs 365g and charges at 1C. The Prime SHV LCO 20,000mAh delivers 79.0Wh at the lightest weight in the footprint, on the highest voltage platform, with a 2C charge rate — a combination no other cell in the 87×187mm format provides.

• 2C Charge Retained — A Meaningful Distinction at This Footprint

The Prime HN Ternary cells in the 87×187mm footprint — the 27,000mAh and 30,000mAh — charge at 1C, requiring approximately 60 minutes for a full charge. The entire Prime SHV LCO family, including the 20,000mAh, charges at 2C — approximately 30 minutes. At this footprint, the 2C charge rate of the SHV LCO 20,000mAh (40A input) is a meaningful operational advantage for field deployments requiring faster cell turnaround. Two cells in rotation at 2C sustain continuous operations without waiting.

• Semi-Solid Construction at Super High Voltage — Structural Stability Advantage

The Prime series uses advanced semi-solid electrolyte technology, reducing liquid electrolyte content versus conventional LiPo construction. At the 3.95V super high voltage platform, the semi-solid construction provides greater electrochemical and mechanical stability than a conventional liquid-electrolyte cell operating at equivalent voltage — reducing risk of liquid leakage and fire under the elevated stress of the 3.95V charge and discharge cycle. The semi-solid structure also maintains consistent internal geometry under the vibration and impact loads of commercial drone operations across the cell’s service life.

• 10C Peak — 200A, 5C Continuous — 100A

The Prime SHV LCO 20,000mAh delivers 200A peak burst and 100A continuous discharge — rates calibrated for sustained endurance operations on mapping, logistics, emergency response, and fire-fighting platforms. The 5C continuous (100A) is consistent with all Prime SHV LCO cells and reflects the super high voltage LCO chemistry’s rate profile — a deliberate architecture that directs its performance advantage into voltage platform and energy density rather than peak burst current.

• AI Vision Stacking

Fully automated production line with AI-guided vision stacking ensures precise internal layer alignment and structural integrity across the 87×187mm footprint — particularly critical at 8.3mm thickness, the thinnest point in this format, where internal layer precision determines both the energy density performance and safety behaviour of this super high voltage semi-solid cell.
