US-based Lithium Battery Company is investing $4 million to establish a 60,000 sq ft automated battery manufacturing facility in Tampa, Florida.

The expansion includes a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designation and features five specialized assembly lines designed to support defense contracts, artificial intelligence (AI) data center energy storage, and OEM partnerships.

The expansion is the company’s largest investment to date in US manufacturing capabilities.

The batteries produced at the site will range from small battery packs to 1 MW systems. Voltages will range from 3.7 V up to 800 V, while capacity will range from 1 Ah to 1 MWh.

The facility will feature a clean room environment for sensitive components, a testing and validation laboratory, climate-controlled storage facilities and quality control systems.

“Our range of automated assembly lines and testing capabilities is positioned to meet the most demanding requirements across defense, AI infrastructure, and commercial applications,” said Nathan Staron, the company’s Chief Executive Officer.
