2 AGM Background / Business Model Mass Volume Pilot Volume Technology Partners (electro-chemistry developers, lab scale cell tech developers) Volume Manufacturing (Transfer to volume partners and / or larger scale plant investment) Prototyping Electro-Chem Labs AGM AGM bridges the gap between labs and production. History; AGM plant commissioned in JV between AEA Technology, GS Japan Storage (GS Yuasa) & Mitsubishi Materials. Successfully developed and scaled new Li-ion tech for GS and Mitsubishi Materials. AEA Technology bought out the JV in 2005 and utilised plant to manufacture Li-ion cells for defence & specialist applications. Present; Acquired by AMTE Power in 2013, with strategy based on new investment & utilising the facility as a scale up plant for new electrical energy storage technologies (taking TRL 3 /4 tech through to manufacture) 2

3 Powder to Power Manufacturing Facility Mixing Coating Calendaring Slitting Cutting Stacking / Winding Formation Testing 3

4 Vision To bridge the development gap and transfer cell research to manufacture. Images: AGM D cells previously manufactured in several million quantities at AGM; 21700, the new defacto cylindrical cell; AGM PHEV2 pouch cell, currently in development. AGM operates from powder to power. Mid-scale. Capability to produce several million cells (or equivalent) pa. Growth Business; AGM works with emerging electrochemistries, advanced sensing and communications to prove next generation battery technology and smart cells. Currently Automotive & Static Energy Storage focused 4

5 Key drivers in Automotive (xev) Batteries Cost Safety Energy Density (size & weight) Power Density Reliability (Lifetime / Performance, warranty) Balance of plant (Thermal & electrical management) All equally relevant in Aerospace applications? All of this stems from the core tech the cells All of these being addressed across multiple AGM (partnered) projects & we d like to engage to transfer them, where appropriate to Aero 5

6 Some of our existing partners / project associates 6

7 Longer term Emerging technologies Advanced & solid state electrolytes High thermal conductivity cell materials Nano-materials & graphene Metallic electrodes New chemistries But what about the nearer term.. 7

8 Nearer term Developments with obvious Aero fit Sodium Ion Scale-up of Exciting Na-ion Chemistry Safer, Lower cost, Transportation friendly Co-funded by Innovate UK IDP12 for automotive application Smart Cells Smart Cells for Smarter Batteries Safer, Lighter, Smaller, Reliable, Big Data, 2nd Life Use Automotive & Energy Storage Co-funded by UK Automotive Battery Supply Chain (APC4) On-cell Sensing Direct Cell SoC Measurement Increased SoC window, Improved SoH monitoring = deeper discharge, more capacity, safer Automotive & Energy Storage 8

9 Our Faraday Challenge Activity Faraday Challenge Faraday Institute Supporting Fast start projects Influencing training & skills programme IUK Strand Co-funding for two new cell technology projects Exploitation partner on a range of successful applications Scale Up Strand Already active through AGMs existing scale up facility As the only UK mass cell producer (powder to power), supporting the UKBIC 9
