Xiamen AOAO New Energy Lab Upgrades Pilot production line for Compact Household Solid-state Li-ion Batteries, Cutting Civil Energy Storage Costs by Another 22%

Release Date: July 15, 2026 | Xiamen Local New Energy News Bulletin

Recently, Xiamen AOAO New Energy Technology Laboratory (AOAO lab) unveiled its latest industrialized R&D achievements. Leveraging its full lineup of self-developed equipment including electrode roller presses, vacuum packaging machines and high-precision electrochemical testing instruments, the company has completed a comprehensive upgrade to its pilot production line for compact solid-state lithium-metal batteries tailored to residential photovoltaic energy storage scenarios. The new-generation household energy storage cells have achieved triple breakthroughs in safety performance, cycle life and procurement cost, bringing wall-mounted balcony photovoltaic energy storage systems closer to ordinary households with real demand.

As a local new energy enterprise with years of expertise in Lithium battery lab equipment, electrode processing machinery and core battery consumables, AOAO lab has long specialized in turnkey solutions for battery laboratories. Its main product portfolio covers the full lithium battery lab supply chain: electrode calendering machines, coating machines, glove boxes, vacuum sealing machines, coin cell cases, lithium metal foil, sodium metal sheet, battery Electrolyte, separators, battery capacity testers and spot welders. The company serves hundreds of university electrochemical labs, new energy startups and power battery R&D departments nationwide. This technological iteration marks a major civil application outcome accumulated from years of independent R&D on lithium battery manufacturing equipment.

Technical Achievement: Self-developed Roller Press Equipment Greatly Improves Lithium-metal Anode Stability

The biggest breakthrough of this household solid-state energy storage battery stems from process optimization of AOAO’s self-developed high-precision electrode calendering machine. Traditional lithium-metal anodes tend to generate lithium dendrites during charging and discharging, posing fire hazards and hindering the widespread civil adoption of lithium-metal batteries. By independently optimizing the pressure control program of the electrode roller press, the R&D team has kept the flatness error of rolled lithium metal foil within the micron level. Combined with dedicated anhydrous vacuum chambers and water-oxygen-free processing environments inside glove boxes, lithium dendrite growth is significantly suppressed.

Actual test data shows the new household lithium-metal energy storage cell exceeds 6,200 charge-discharge cycles. Under daily home usage of one full charge and discharge cycle per day, its theoretical service life reaches 17 years, far outperforming mainstream commercial household lithium iron phosphate (LFP) energy storage batteries that only serve 8–10 years.

People-oriented Application: Two Daily-life Scenarios Realized – Residential PV Storage & Outdoor Camping Portable Power

1. Strong market demand for household photovoltaic energy storage

Distributed balcony photovoltaic systems and villa rooftop solar installations are gaining rapid popularity across China. However, high upfront costs, bulky footprint and poor high-temperature safety have long plagued ordinary households considering home energy storage. Thanks to technology transfer from AOAO’s lab-scale mass production processes, the manufacturing cost per Wh of its new compact household energy storage module is 22% lower than competing products on the market. The 3kWh wall-mounted home energy storage unit features a 31% smaller overall volume, perfectly suited for storing rooftop solar power during daytime and supplying electricity at night to cut household electricity bills.

2. High-capacity lightweight portable lithium batteries for outdoor camping

Building on its self-supplied sodium metal sheet and lithium metal foil consumables, AOAO has also developed prototype lightweight high-power energy storage power stations for outdoor camping. Enabled by high-energy-density lithium-metal electrode technology, these power stations weigh nearly 40% less than conventional outdoor lithium batteries at the same rated capacity. They can power high-power induction cookers and vehicle electrical appliances, while fast-charging performance is drastically enhanced via self-developed electrode coating technology, filling the domestic market gap for premium lightweight outdoor energy storage equipment.

Corporate Strategy: Dual-track Layout – Lab Equipment + Civil Energy Storage

According to officials from Xiamen AOAO New Energy, the company’s core business remains providing one-stop lithium battery lab solutions for universities and new energy R&D enterprises worldwide. Its electrode coating machines, roller presses, vacuum sealing equipment and full-set coin cell consumables are regularly exported to electrochemical research institutions across Southeast Asia and Europe. This R&D into civil energy storage technology represents a key initiative to transfer mature cutting-edge lab technologies down to consumer markets.

Moving forward in Q4 2026, AOAO lab plans to open small-scale pre-orders for its household solid-state energy storage prototypes. Meanwhile, it will continue upgrading self-developed lithium battery equipment including electrode die-cutting machines, battery capacity testing devices and precision spot welders. The company will pursue dual development goals: advancing domestic substitution of high-end scientific research equipment while popularizing new energy technologies for daily civilian use, bringing state-of-the-art lithium battery lab innovations into ordinary people’s daily lives.
