Israeli battery maker StoreDot has started shipping its commercial-ready 4695 cylindrical cells to global electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, marking a key step in the adoption of extreme fast charging (XFC) technology.
The cells, developed in partnership with Kumyang, allow EVs to gain 100 miles of range in approximately five minutes and can charge from 10% to 80% in 10 minutes. StoreDot said the batteries maintain fast charging performance across various states of charge and retain over 80% capacity after more than 2,000 fast-charging cycles.
“The production of a large-scale batch of 4695 cells validates our XFC technology on a production scale and proves it is ready for commercial adoption,” StoreDot said. The company added that the cells feature proprietary silicon-dominant anodes, deliver gravimetric energy density above 280 Wh/kg, and are designed for a warranty exceeding 500,000 km.
StoreDot’s XFC technology is protected under its XFC Shield™ patent portfolio, which covers the cell design, specialized electrolytes, and core components that enable extreme fast charging. The company said the technology is compatible with multiple battery formats, including cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch cells, supporting broad integration by global OEMs.
