"Beyond Boundaries"
ATL-CATL joint-venture battery maker producing high-power lithium-ion cells and packs for drones, eVTOLs, robots, and logistics robots, plus energy storage.
Ampace (Ampace Technology Limited) is a Chinese lithium-ion battery technology company established in April 2021 as a joint venture between Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL) and Amperex Technology Limited (ATL), two of the world's leading battery makers. Headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian province, Ampace focuses on the research, development, manufacturing, sale, and service of high-end lithium-ion batteries across three core domains: energy storage systems, micro electric mobility, and batteries that power smart products. Its product portfolio spans battery cells (including the JP, EP, Kunlun, and SP series), energy storage systems for data centers, commercial and industrial sites, and residential use, and application-specific battery solutions. Relevant to robotics and autonomous systems, Ampace operates a dedicated Pan-Robotics line supplying battery solutions for humanoid robots and logistics robots, emphasizing smart efficiency and easy scalability, as well as a Low-Altitude Flight line delivering high-reliability, high-performance batteries for drones and eVTOLs using its industry-leading multi-tab cell winding (MTW) technology.
The company also serves power tools, vacuum cleaners (including robot vacuums), and micro e-mobility markets such as e-bikes, e-motorcycles, and e-tricycles. Ampace's core technologies include high energy density, long-life, ultra-fast charging, wide-temperature-range operation, advanced safety, and smart battery management. Backed by large-scale intelligent manufacturing and significant annual R&D investment, Ampace serves customers across North America, Europe, and Asia and has become a major force in the global residential energy storage market while expanding its footprint in low-altitude flight and robotics power solutions.

As the demand for AI workloads escalates, the data center industry is confronting significant challenges related to power stability. At Data Center World 2026 in Washington, D.C., Ampace and Eaton highlighted these issues during their session titled "Powering Giga-scale AI." They discussed how modern AI computing clusters, which rely on extensive GPU setups, create abrupt and high-frequency power fluctuations that can destabilize local grids. Traditional backup systems, such as diesel generators, struggle to respond to these rapid changes, leading to costly infrastructure oversizing. To address this "power paradox," Ampace is introducing its semi-solid-state battery technology, which acts as a high-speed stabilizer for power spikes, thereby enhancing the reliability of AI infrastructure. This innovation is designed to work in tandem with Eaton's advanced UPS systems, which prioritize rapid load responsiveness. By transforming energy storage from a passive backup into an active component, the collaboration aims to ensure continuous AI operations while minimizing the risk of grid stress. Ampace's approach not only enhances safety by reducing the risk of thermal runaway but also optimizes the total cost of ownership for AI data centers by allowing operators to right-size their infrastructure. As AI technology continues to evolve, Ampace is committed to developing solutions that align with future grid requirements and ensure the resilience of AI systems.
