Among Rincell’s customers is Autorev, an Indian manufacturer of battery packs for electric scooters and motorcycles, giving Rincell a strong position in India’s fast-growing electric two-wheeler market, one of the largest in the world.
Already shipping in commercial end products and undergoing qualification for new applications, the RC50 addresses a wide range of demanding applications, including medical X-ray machines, industrial equipment, electric scooters, electric motorcycles and commercial drones. Across its full cell range, including the RC50 and RC50T, Rincell expects to have shipped more than 500,000 cells by the end of the year.
Demand is accelerating. Rincell has secured major follow-on purchase orders for delivery over the next 12 months, with cells actively shipping to customers in the US and India, including Autorev.
The RC50 encompasses 5Ah capacity, while delivering 25A continuously and 50A in bursts. It retains 80 percent of its capacity after more than 1,200 full cycles, a result validated through customers’ own testing, increasing its operational longevity and significantly cutting replacement costs, downtime and waste. This makes the RC50 extremely versatile, offering dependable performance and long service life.
“The RC50 is our all-rounder” said Jignesh Parikh, Co-founder and CEO of Rincell. “It combines high energy, high power and long life in one cell, driving adoption across a wide spectrum of demanding commercial markets and building major order traction. Delivering that level of performance consistently and at scale is where so much of the battery industry has struggled, and it is what Rincell was built to do.”
The RC50 is certified for international shipping (UN 38.3), for the European market (IEC 62133) and for India (BIS), allowing customers to design it into products for markets around the world.
The launch follows Rincell’s unveiling of the RC50T at DroneX in London in September. Both RC50T and RC50 cells are in production and shipping now: the RC50T for drones that demand peak power, and the RC50 for the many applications that need energy, power and long life in a single cell.
Founded in January 2023, Rincell designs and manufactures high-performance silicon-graphite lithium-ion and sodium-ion cells for defence and commercial customers. It operates a 6,500 sq ft battery cell pilot line in Fremont, California, carries out volume production primarily in India, and is building a US production facility scheduled to come online in late 2027. Rincell is venture-backed and supported by In-Q-Tel, the US Department of War and the California Energy Commission.
