Powering America’s Future
America’s batteries, American minerals, American security.
The American Battery is dedicated to a fully domestic lithium-ion value chain—connecting mines, refineries, cell lines, and recycling to the EVs, grids, homes, and mission-critical systems that keep the United States moving.
American Mines & Minerals
Secure access to lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, graphite, aluminum, and steel.
Our story begins where American geology meets engineering—responsible mining on U.S. soil and with trusted allies.
Visual Story
Replace this panel with photographs or renders of U.S. mines, refineries, gigafactories, and grid or EV deployments. The slider will advance automatically and can be controlled via the dots below.
Batteries are now a national security asset.
Lithium-ion batteries no longer just power phones and laptops. They run vehicles, grid infrastructure, defense platforms, satellites, secure communications, and life-saving systems. Controlling the battery value chain—from mining and refining to cells, packs, and recycling—is essential for American independence and resilience.
Reduce dependence on fragile foreign supply chains for mission-critical energy storage.
Anchor high-value American jobs in mining, refining, cell manufacturing, and recycling.
Build a resilient grid, transportation network, and defense posture powered at home.
Inside a lithium-ion cell
Every cell is a system of carefully engineered materials:
- Cathode: LFP, NMC, high-Mn, and other chemistries based on lithium, phosphorus, iron, nickel, manganese, cobalt, and oxygen.
- Anode: Primarily graphite, with emerging silicon-rich blends to push energy density.
- Electrolyte: Lithium-bearing salts and solvents that manage ion transport and safety.
- Current collectors: Copper and aluminum that connect each cell to the outside world.
The American Battery connects each of these materials back to its source—and forward to its impact on vehicles, grids, homes, and mission-critical applications.
From American earth to American energy.
The American Battery follows every step of the lithium-ion journey—tying critical minerals like lithium, copper, iron, nickel, manganese, cobalt, graphite, aluminum, and steel to the vehicles, grids, homes, and defense systems they ultimately power.
Exploration & Mining
Responsible extraction of lithium, iron, copper, nickel, manganese, cobalt, graphite, aluminum, and other battery metals on American soil and with allied partners.
Refining & Processing
Converting ores and brines into battery-grade compounds and metals with tight quality and traceability standards.
Active Materials
Cathodes, anodes, electrolytes, and additives engineered for safety, energy density, and long life across chemistries.
Cell Manufacturing
Coating, calendaring, stacking, winding, formation, and testing in state-of-the-art American cell lines.
Packs & Systems
Integrating cells with BMS, thermal management, enclosures, and controls to create complete battery systems.
Use, Second Life & Recycling
EVs, grid storage, defense systems, homes, and devices – followed by reuse and closed-loop recovery of critical minerals.
Scroll horizontally through each animated step to see how lithium-ion batteries move from American and allied mineral resources through refining, cell manufacturing, packs, and closed-loop recycling.
Critical minerals at the heart of American power.
Our focus spans the full suite of materials that make modern lithium-ion batteries possible—from the active metals in cathode and anode chemistries to the copper, aluminum, and steel that carry and protect power.

From EVs and grid-scale storage to defense systems and everyday devices, American batteries built on American minerals protect our people, our infrastructure, and our way of life.
Electric Vehicles
High-performance cells and packs that deliver range, fast charging, and long life for American EVs and fleets.
Grid & BESS
Utility-scale and behind-the-meter energy storage stabilizing the American grid and backing up critical infrastructure.
Defense & Mission-Critical
Traceable, rugged batteries for DoD, aerospace, secure communications, and mission-critical operations.
Homes & Buildings
Residential and commercial storage that keeps the lights on, captures solar, and strengthens community resilience.
Portable Electronics & Tools
Safe, high-quality cells powering everything from tools and medical devices to communications equipment.
An America-first battery supply chain.
The American Battery exists to support companies, policymakers, and mission-driven partners who believe core energy technology should be designed, manufactured, and recycled on American soil or with trusted allies. We map supply chains, spotlight gaps, and highlight projects that keep strategic value at home.
- Traceable, auditable supply from mine to cell to pack.
- Preference for U.S. and allied sources of lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, graphite, copper, and aluminum.
- Integration with recycling streams to reduce raw-material risk over time.
We see batteries as strategic infrastructure—alongside semiconductors, aerospace, and critical communications. Our work links geology, metallurgy, electrochemistry, manufacturing, and recycling into a single story of American strength.
Detailed pages on each critical mineral, refining routes, chemistries, and applications build a living knowledge base for partners, policymakers, and citizens who care about American energy security.
