Battle Born Wins Prestigious Lithium Battery Technology Award

Dragonfly Energy, an industry leader in energy storage and battery technology and maker of Battle Born Batteries, has been named the “Battery Technology Company of the Year” in the 2nd annual CleanTech Breakthrough Awards program. The award recognizes Dragonfly Energy’s patented innovations in dry electrode lithium battery cell manufacturing and its proprietary Dragonfly IntelLigence technology.

Submissions were evaluated by CleanTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization focused on identifying the top companies, products, and services across the global climate and clean technology landscape.

Dragonfly Energy emerged among thousands of nominations from more than 14 countries worldwide and was recognized for its world-class innovations in lithium-ion battery development and manufacturing.

“Dragonfly Energy is setting new benchmarks in energy storage through innovation, sustainability, and execution,” said Bryan Vaughn, managing director of CleanTech Breakthrough. “We believe the Company’s patented dry electrode cell manufacturing process represents a significant leap forward in scalable, eco-conscious battery production. Combined with its proprietary Dragonfly IntelLigence technology—which overcomes many of the limitations of traditional Bluetooth-based battery communication—we believe Dragonfly Energy delivers a more intelligent, reliable, and future-ready energy storage solution. These advancements are what earned Dragonfly Energy our 2025 ‘Battery Technology Company of the Year’ award.”

At the core of Dragonfly Energy’s innovation is its patented dry electrode battery cell manufacturing process, which eliminates the need for toxic solvents and enables a more sustainable, cost-effective pathway to domestic lithium battery production. Validated by third-party analysis for its economic and environmental advantages, the process reduces energy consumption, lowers capital expenditures, and allows for flexible, scalable deployment in decentralized manufacturing environments. Importantly, the Company’s technology enables the production of PFAS-free battery cells and has successfully demonstrated compatibility with high-purity recycled materials—such as those sourced through Aqua Metals—further strengthening its commitment to circularity and responsible supply chains.

Complementing its manufacturing breakthroughs is Dragonfly IntelLigence, a proprietary battery communication and monitoring technology designed to optimize performance, enhance safety, and improve the user experience. Unlike traditional Bluetooth-based systems, Dragonfly IntelLigence enables seamless, direct communication between connected batteries and system components through a robust, hardwired network. This advanced platform supports real-time data visualization, remote diagnostics, and smarter energy management—capabilities that are increasingly critical as energy systems become more complex and distributed.

“Our products are trusted across a wide range of industries—from leading RV manufacturers to large-scale commercial fleet operators,” said Dr. Denis Phares, chief executive officer of Dragonfly Energy. “We’re committed to not only meeting today’s energy storage demands, but also shaping the future of the industry through advanced performance, reliability, and sustainable innovation. Being recognized by CleanTech Breakthrough is a meaningful validation of our technology and our vision as we continue to drive progress in the lithium battery space.”
