Product overview
Guizhou Super Energy Era Technology Co., Ltd.’s Skyward 450 is a hybrid solid-liquid electrolyte battery cell intended for endurance-focused applications, including UAV power systems. It uses anode-free lithium metal (AFLMB) chemistry and measures 9 × 87 × 187 mm in thickness, width and height. Its electrical specifications pair a nominal voltage of 3.81 V with a rated capacity of 50 Ah at 0.1C and room temperature. Energy density is specified as 450±10 Wh/kg under the same conditions.
For procurement and integration, the cell’s discharge limits and cycle life are material constraints. Maximum continuous discharge is 0.5C; the 1C pulse discharge rating applies for 10 seconds at 50℃. Cycle life is 50 cycles at 25℃ under the stated 0.2C/0.5C conditions. The design prioritizes energy density and single-flight endurance, accepting lower discharge rate and cycle life. Planned sortie count therefore matters to lifetime cost, and the Skyward 450 is not a drop-in replacement for standard production airframes.
