Ouros Energy

American-controlled lithium-ion cells for defense and industrial systems

EnergyMaterials
What they build

The product

Ouros develops Draco lithium-ion cells and describes an American-controlled approach spanning chemistry, material specifications, electrodes, cell manufacturing, qualification, and delivery. Its website lists a 5.00 Ah 21700 cylindrical cell and a 10.9 Ah pouch cell and markets them for defense and industrial applications.

Why it matters

The thesis

American battery supply is bottlenecked by Chinese-controlled cobalt and nickel feedstocks. Ouros is one of a small handful of US labs trying to redesign the cathode itself — not just relocate the supply chain — and is one of the few hard-tech battery companies operating outside the SF/Boston axis, planted in Miami's emerging deep-tech cluster.

Operating model

How it runs

Develops and manufactures complete battery cells in the United States, controlling material specifications, oxygen-based cathode and silicon-anode chemistry, electrode production, cell assembly, formation, test, qualification, integration support, and delivery. Production-ready Draco cells are offered in cylindrical 21700 and pouch formats.

Revenue model

How it earns

Sells production-ready Draco battery cells by order and provides delivery planning, engineering integration, qualification support, and controlled production data through technical review. Public pricing, minimum order quantities, and contract terms are not disclosed.

Strategic edge

Why it wins

Its claimed advantage is vertically controlling the chemistry-to-cell chain in America rather than licensing foreign chemistry or merely assembling imported cells, allowing material, process, qualification, and production changes to be coordinated as one system while avoiding Chinese-controlled cathode and anode materials.
