Elon Musk has commented on Tesla’s acquisition of Maxwell, an ultra-capacitor manufacturer and battery technology company, and shed some lights on the automaker’s plan for the company. When ...

Tesla has acquired energy storage company Maxwell Technologies in an all-stock deal valued at $218 million, a deal aimed at helping the electric automaker improve its batteries and lower costs as ...

Maxwell Technologies has breakthrough dry battery electrode technology and ultracapacitors. Tesla has announced the purchase of Maxwell Technologies for $218 million in an all-stock deal. The Maxwell ...

Maxwell has been developing a dry electrode technology for use with lithium-ion batteries in cars. Management is optimistic it will have their technology in place on a car model by 2021 - 2022.

The dry battery technology ramp is said to be to 300 Wh/kilogram (+45 percent) "demonstrated," Maxwell says, and then with a "path to 500 wH/Kg identified" (+142 percent or 2.4x the initial rating.) ...

The Maxwell battery is all about a manufacturing process. It can be used with existing chemistries like NMC and NCA. The new manufacturing process just allows Tesla/Maxwell to eliminate the time- ...

It also appears that both Maxwell/Tesla and Kyocera/24M batteries use a thick electrode in addition to the new dry manufacturing process. Thick electrodes increase energy density.
