ABOUT US

"Silicon Valley's Battery Lab™"

Located minutes from Silicon Valley, SpectraPower offers contract services, energy consulting, and expert witness services for li-ion and other types of batteries.

Who We Are

SpectraPower is a contract R&D and consulting company that serves the energy storage industry. We focus on lithium ion and lithium metal batteries but also work on super capacitors, fuel cells, and other related technologies.

​

In our prototyping work, we specialize in R&D mixing, coating, building coin cells, single layer and multi-layer pouch cells, and testing and reporting on performance. We work with all types of materials, including silicon anodes, any cathode from NMC 811 to LFP, solid state materials, and all separators and electrolytes and additives.

​

Many of our customers have us build cells to test new materials they've developed, so that they don't have to develop cell building expertise. We can also help evaluate their materials against comparable industry benchmarks.

​

We also do analytical tear-down and reporting on batteries, from EV packs and drone packs to high end consumer electronics batteries — for industry bench-marking, reverse engineering, legal purposes, quality verification, or whatever other reason requested.
