Chinese battery-manufacturing behemoth CATL has announcedtheir most powerful battery to date — one which they believe will be capable of powering electric aircraft by meeting both energy needs and safety standards.

CATL claims that their new battery has an energy density — the amount of power it has compared to its mass — of 500 watt-hours per kilogram. Essentially, it can crank out more power from a lighter weight than current offerings, a key concern not only for electric car range but even more so for the aviation industry. The company calls their new offering a “condensed battery” and are being cagey with details, both technical and commercial.
