Enovix AI-1™ Achieves New Benchmark in Smartphone Battery Technology
FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Enovix Corporation (Nasdaq: ENVX), a leader in high-performance battery technology, has announced significant advancements in smartphone battery efficiency. Independent testing confirms that the Enovix AI-1™ battery delivers an impressive 935 Wh/L volumetric energy density, outperforming a major competitor by 100 Wh/L, which translates to a 12% performance advantage.
Rigorous Testing Methodology
To validate its claims, Enovix partnered with Polaris Battery Labs, a respected independent testing facility, to conduct side-by-side evaluations of the AI-1™ battery against a leading silicon-doped smartphone battery. This benchmarking was performed under identical environmental conditions using the same equipment and procedures, ensuring accurate and credible results.
Significant Industry Impact
“These independent test results reaffirm what we have always believed: the AI-1 represents a pivotal advancement in volumetric energy density,” stated Dr. Raj Talluri, CEO of Enovix. “This level of innovation is unprecedented for smartphone batteries, and we foresee even greater enhancements with our upcoming AI-2 and AI-3 batteries throughout this decade.”
Innovative Battery Architecture
The distinct performance edge identified in the testing is attributed to Enovix’s unique battery design. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, which often incorporate silicon-doped graphite anodes limited in silicon content due to expansion issues, the AI-1™ utilizes a patented architecture that allows for 100% active silicon anodes. This effectively mitigates volumetric expansion while retaining the advantages of silicon’s superior energy storage capabilities.
Expert Insights on Battery Technology
“Enovix’s breakthrough technology sets a new standard in the quest for higher energy density,” said Doug Morris, CEO of Polaris Battery Labs. “By employing silicon instead of traditional graphite, Enovix has achieved a remarkable leap in performance for commercially scalable lithium-ion batteries.”
