ITEN to Launch the Industrial-Scale Production of Its All-Solid-State Battery Powency© Product Family
ITEN, a pioneer in the development and production of solid-state batteries for electronics markets, announced the production launch of its new Powency© family of rechargeable Li-ion batteries. The new family consists of high-power density batteries, including for now the PWY0150S battery, available in pre-production, and the PWY0250S battery, available as engineering samples. Those first Powency© batteries respectively have a capacity of 150µAh and 250µAh. The Powency© product family, which is manufactured at the ITEN facility in France, is a testament to the demonstration of ITEN’s technological and industrial leadership in the field of solid-state batteries.
Powency© PWY0150S and PWY0250S, solid-state energy storage in an unmatched form factor
The Powency© PWS0150S and PWS0250S batteries are designed to deliver energy peaks to connected devices or to power electronic systems during a power outage. Both products feature a high-power density in an ultra-compact design, measuring 25mm³ and weighing 73 milligrams; they can supply the current levels required by connected devices operating with LAN wireless protocols. The Powency© PWS0150S and PWS0250S are available as SMD devices, enabling an easy integration with automated production lines. Powency© PWS0150S and PWS0250S are based on ITENS' all-solid-state battery technologies, contain no heavy metals, toxic chemicals or organic solvents, and can be recycled as passive electronic components.
Powency© PWY0150S and PWY0250S, designed to address the energy efficiency challenges for the IoT and maintenance-free wireless sensors
Powering low-power, small-form-factor devices is a major obstacle in the emergence and broad implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT). The Powency© products will enable IoT device makers to build high-performance Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), 802.15.4, or NFC systems in an unrivaled form factor. They facilitate the widespread use of maintenance-free devices that harvest energy from external sources such as indoor or outdoor ambient light, ambient radio waves, and / or kinetic motion. PWY0150S is currently being manufactured in pre-series for numerous early-stage customers and serves as the ideal energy reservoir in autonomous sensors that are powered by Energy Harvesting.
Vincent Cobée, CEO of ITEN, said: "The commercial introduction and mass production of the Powency© product family have indeed marked a significant milestone in the company's evolution. We were able to develop solutions that the market expected, in terms of both product and integration into our clients' various industrial processes, to provide a sustainable, high-performance, and genuinely integrated response. The trajectory will be further accelerated in the upcoming months by the introduction of a new battery that is even more potent, as well as the offering of two distinct solutions.”

ITEN is a French industrial gem, leader in the development and production of “solid state“ micro-batteries with unrivalled power density. It is one of the few global players with the capacity for industrial production of this technology, mastering the entire design and production chain. These revolutionary batteries meet the power and miniaturization needs of electronic systems used in connected objects, autonomous sensors and wearables. At the heart of the DeepTech ecosystem, ITEN holds over 200 patents. Based in Dardilly, near Lyon, it is a two-time winner of the global innovation competition (2015 and 2017) and the French Tech 120 winner in 2023. It has just won the CES 2024 Best of Innovation Awards in Las Vegas for its 250 μA.h micro-battery (the second French company to be honored since CES was founded in 1967). ITEN has raised 80 million euros by the end of 2022 from BPI, Groupe SEB, Innovacom, EREN Group and Habert Dassault Finance.
