Estes is rebuilding the industrial base for exceptional battery systems in the USA. From raw materials to final form, fit and function — under one roof.
Our Magnesium Thesis
Estes has been quietly innovating across all aspects of this incredible material: flame retardant alloys, an automotive scale forming process, and a multi-layer coating. Together, Estes is building a domestic manufacturing capability for large format magnesium components - built in the USA.
DISTRIBUTED BMS ARCHITECTURE
Enables system redundancy
FUNCTIONAL SAFETY
According to ISO26262 up to ASIL-D
FLEXIBLE BATTERY PACK CONFIGURATION
Single & multi-string battery packs can be intermixed in a system
CYBERSECURITY
Certified to ISO 21434
Cell-to-X: The best part is no part
Estes’ alloying, forming, and coating capability enables building the machine around – and from – the battery system. Passive and active thermal management strategies can be fully integrated into cell-to-airframe and cell-to-machine architectures, eliminating mass and cost from high-performance systems.
What is the Levius Process?
Estes' proprietary Levius™ process is an end-to-end manufacturing and coating process for magnesium components. It integrates three steps: Estes' flame retardant MgCarbonit™ alloy mixing process, giga-thixomolding, and application of a multi-layer, protective coating that unlocks magnesium for high-voltage cell-to-pack battery architectures. Estes is growing its portfolio of patents pending and trade secrets which cover Levius™ processes, materials, and manufacturing recipes.
