Adden Energy has officially launched a pilot production line to manufacture its dynamic-stability lithium metal solid-state batteries, aiming to advance battery technology with improved energy density, faster charging, and enhanced safety.
The Massachusetts-based company leverages a Harvard-discovered scientific principle known as dynamic stability, which allows lithium metal and all-solid-state technologies to be combined efficiently. Early prototypes have demonstrated a 50% increase in energy density and charging times under 10 minutes, while maintaining a non-flammable composition.

“We can manufacture these batteries on the same equipment that is commonly used for lithium-ion production, which gives us a clear route to scale-up and manufacturing,” said Dr. Pu Zhang, Chief Product Officer at Adden Energy. The company’s pilot line uses conventional lithium-ion production equipment with minor modifications, reducing manufacturing costs typically associated with solid-state battery production.
Massachusetts Secretary of Economic Development Yvonne Hao attended the commissioning event, highlighting the state’s commitment to fostering innovative manufacturing. “Adden Energy’s story is a perfect example of the entrepreneurial excellence we have in Massachusetts,” Hao said.

The company has already received purchase orders from automakers and industrial users, with the pilot production line set to reach full capacity by summer. MassVentures, an early investor in Adden Energy, continues to support its expansion as demand for next-generation battery technology grows.
