About Rincell
Rincell develops cylindrical silicon-graphite lithium-ion and sodium-ion cells for drones, defence systems and other high-demand applications. Its catalogue includes 18650 and 21700 formats designed around high energy density, high discharge rates, fast charging and low-temperature operation, with product selection varying by power and endurance requirements.
The company operates research and pilot manufacturing in Fremont, California, while volume cell production is primarily in India. In September 2026 it said the RC50T tabless 21700 cell was already shipping to drone manufacturers as production ramped. A separate First Breach agreement names Rincell as the preferred battery-technology provider for planned Class 2–4 UAS integration.
