C-BATT advances Obsidia to strengthen U.S. military readiness & American energy independence

ORLANDO, Fla. - EntSun -- With batteries now central to modern energy infrastructure and defense strategy, C-BATT is moving forward with a major leap in American-made battery technology, preparing Obsidia™ to deliver the performance, durability and independence required for the next era of battery storage.

According to federal energy forecasts, battery storage grid additions are expected to surpass those of wind and natural gas combined in 2025. Yet nearly all advanced battery storage entering the grid today depends on Chinese-supplied graphite, a strategic vulnerability directly impacting both national security and domestic energy independence.

The U.S. military faces this pressure firsthand. American soldiers currently carry an average of 21 pounds of batteries during a standard 72-hour mission, according to the U.S. Army's Office of the Chief of Public Affairs—a growing burden as electronics and energy demands rise across the battlefield.

"The U.S. military just put in an order for 1 million drones, and each one of those will use a battery ," said Bill Easter, CEO of C-BATT. "As batteries become foundational to both defense and energy infrastructure, American independence in anode materials becomes more important than ever. We are confronting the reality that China currently dominates the global supply chain for battery-grade graphite, and we are working relentlessly to change that."

With the global landscape shifting and batteries taking on broader, mission-critical roles, C-BATT is positioning Obsidia™—a next-generation anode material—as a direct response to the urgent need for a lighter, higher-performing and fully American-sourced alternative designed to support national security and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign supply chains. Obsidia™ will be available for sampling in 2026, with manufacturing scale-up underway.

Obsidia™ is engineered to strengthen national security by reducing U.S. reliance on foreign sources while delivering a measurable step-change in capability. With higher energy density than traditional graphite, Obsidia™ has the potential to extend mission duration, reduce battery weight burdens on soldiers, and enhance operational flexibility for defense applications. Obsidia also provides a clear path to reduce a critical infrastructure supply chain vulnerability in grid batteries by displacing Chinese graphite and increasing American energy independence and resilience.

These advancements are supported by a fully domestic supply chain and simplified manufacturing process, delivering what C-BATT describes as a "direct answer to global vulnerabilities" in critical battery materials.
