Factorial Energy develops solid-state and lithium-metal battery cells, while Tulip Tech designs and integrates battery packs for unmanned aircraft.

Their collaboration links cell development with aircraft-specific pack engineering, adapting systems to mission profiles, performance demands, and safety requirements. Initial customer flight testing of the integrated batteries has reportedly delivered more than a 30% increase in range before further engineering optimization. The work also encompasses customer engagement and efforts to scale production for commercial UAV use.
