magniX Samson batteries deliver greater aircraft range and safety, enabling the technical and commercial viability of many eVTOL and electric aircraft programs

In a major leap forward for electric aviation, magniX has announced the launch of its groundbreaking Samson battery line. Designed specifically for aviation and high-performance applications, the Samson batteries aim to revolutionize the industry with their exceptional energy density, safety features, and certifiability under aviation regulations.

The first in the product line, the Samson300, boasts an impressive energy density of 300-Watt hours per kilogram (Wh/kg), setting a new standard in the field. This high energy density translates to greater range and larger payloads for electric aircraft, addressing key challenges in the sector.

Ben Loxton, VP of Energy Storage Systems at magniX, emphasized the significance of this development. “magniX’s Samson batteries represent a breakthrough for magniX and electric aviation,” he said. “With unrivalled energy density, cycle life, and safety features, magniX’s Samson batteries will help to unlock the tremendous potential of electric flight – enabling many eVTOLs and electric programs on the edge of viability to become viable.”

The Samson batteries feature a range of innovative technologies, including cell-level protection from thermal runaway and the ability to store batteries at zero charge for extended periods. They also offer fast aircraft turnaround times with active on-ground cooling during charging and the option for passive cooling in flight, minimizing weight and complexity.

Reed Macdonald, CEO of magniX, expressed enthusiasm about the new product line. “We are thrilled to introduce this revolutionary battery technology to the world of electric aviation and beyond,” he said. “With the development of our Samson batteries, magniX can now offer customers a fully integrated electric powertrain, and it’s just the beginning.”

The modular architecture of the Samson batteries allows for powering larger aircraft and simple replacement. This versatility extends beyond aviation, with potential applications in marine craft and other industries requiring high-performance energy storage solutions.

Notably, the batteries are designed to be certifiable under aviation regulations, a crucial factor for their adoption in the aerospace industry. With over 1,000 full-depth discharge cycles, the Samson batteries also promise to reduce operating costs significantly.

As the electric aviation industry continues to grow, magniX’s Samson batteries represent a significant step forward in addressing the sector’s power and energy needs. The company’s roadmap suggests even higher energy densities in the future, potentially reaching 400Wh/kg or more.

With this latest innovation, magniX strengthens its position as a leader in electric aviation technology, offering a comprehensive solution that includes both electric powertrains and high-performance batteries. As the industry evolves, the Samson battery line is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of sustainable air travel.
