About EaglePicher Technologies
EaglePicher develops primary, rechargeable and reserve batteries across lithium-ion, lithium primary, nickel-hydrogen, silver-zinc and other specialised chemistries. Its thermal batteries remain inert until an internal pyrotechnic heat source activates the electrolyte, providing immediate high-power output after long storage for missiles, munitions and emergency systems.
The company designs cells, battery-management electronics, packaging and energetic activation systems around each programme’s environmental, safety and lifecycle requirements. Production supports spacecraft, launch vehicles, defence systems, medical implants and industrial equipment, with qualification and traceability maintained from material processing through final assembly. EaglePicher reports batteries on more than 600 satellites and participation in most major US missile programmes.

Events
- 2021-10-20 - Award - EaglePicher selected for IARPA RESILIENCE battery program
Conamix leads development of a nanostructured sulfur-metal-sulfide hybrid cathode, while Ionic Materials contributes a protected lithium-metal anode. EaglePicher will design, model and optimize the electrochemical cells and integrate them into a complete battery system using advanced manufacturing. The program targets long calendar life, low-temperature performance and high-power pulse capability for aerospace, defence and commercial-vehicle applications.
