MagniX has announced the Samson family of batteries for electric aircraft.

Electric propulsion system developer MagniX has unveiled its plans to produce a new range of batteries for aviation applications. The Samson batteries, announced on June 24, are expected to deliver an energy density of 300 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg) and have a service life of more than 1,000 full-depth discharge cycles.

The U.S. company intends to use the new batteries as an energy storage solution for its family of electric propulsion systems with power ratings ranging from 350 to 650 kilowatts. It will offer the lithium-ion Samson range to other electric aviation companies, as well as other industries.
