NEO BATTERY RECEIVES PURCHASE ORDER FOR 34AH DRONE CELLS & ACHIEVES KC CERTIFICATION FOR 11.5AH PRODUCT

Neo Battery Materials Ltd. has received a purchase order for its 34-ampere-hour drone battery cells from a South Korean battery pack manufacturer and to achieve KC certification of its 11.5 Ah battery product for commercial sale and distribution in the Korean defence and dual-use markets.

The company has received a purchase order for 10,000 units of Neo's 34Ah (ampere-hour) drone battery cells from PM Energy Solution Co. Ltd., a South Korean battery pack manufacturer. Products are expected to be manufactured and delivered in line with periodic demand forecasts from PM Energy and its drone customer base. The customer has placed the order with the intent of reserving sufficient capacity to meet anticipated demand and the quantity supplied will therefore be subject to these forecasts.

In addition to drone batteries, the customer will collaborate with Neo to develop and purchase high-energy battery cells for its TeraVitz e-mobility/electric motorcycle products deployed across Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Along with its e-mobility product lines, PM Energy services South Korean defence primes and Fortune 500 automotive companies with energy storage systems (ESS) and uninterrupted power supply (UPS) units for backup energy supply and mission-critical communication operations.

PM Energy's core business reuses end-of-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries utilizing its proprietary battery pack manufacturing and artificial-intelligence-based screening technology for applications in industrial equipment, e-mobility and ESS/UPS. Along with its main product lines, the Customer has initiated service to drone manufacturers exclusively with NEO's battery lineups. PM Energy has recently showcased and proven its product innovation, being recognized as a 2026 CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Sustainability & Energy Transition category and receiving the Silver Award at the 2026 Edison Awards for its TeraVitz -- Smart Deep Cycle Lithium Battery for Industrial Equipment product.

KC certification of 11.5 Ah product

Neo has obtained Korea Certification (KC) under the KC 62133-2 standard for its 11.5 Ah cell product, achieving certification on its first submission and enabling the commercial sale and distribution of lithium-ion batteries within the Korean market. KC is a legally compulsory product safety mark that ensures compliance with K-Standards, and Neo's cells have passed a defined series of electrical, mechanical, thermal and environmental safety tests, verifying the product meets domestic standards for safe operation and handling in commercial use.

"Attaining certification without revisions reflects the quality consistency and control of Neo's cell design and manufacturing process," stated Mr. S.J. Youn, head of manufacturing at Neo. "KC certification now enables the company to supply its 11.5 Ah cell on a commercial basis in the Korean defence sector. UN 38.3 certification is under way for international shipment and export clearance to enable cross-border sales."
