Manufacturing

Battery manufacturing is essential to powering the future of energy storage, transportation, and technology. The battery industry is focused on fostering a strong domestic manufacturing base while promoting energy independence and job growth.

Powering the Future: Battery Manufacturing in the U.S.

The U.S. battery manufacturing industry is a cornerstone of energy storage innovation, economic growth, and national security. With a strong domestic supply chain, American manufacturers produce reliable, high-quality batteries that power everything from vehicles and critical infrastructure to renewable energy storage solutions.

A stable and sustainable battery manufacturing sector is essential to maintaining energy independence, reducing reliance on foreign sources, and supporting thousands of American jobs. The industry is committed to responsible production practices, investing in cutting-edge technology, and ensuring the continuous advancement of energy storage solutions.

Strengthening the Battery Supply Chain

A resilient battery supply chain is essential to national security, manufacturing stability, and energy independence. The U.S. battery industry has built a strong domestic network of manufacturers and recyclers, reducing reliance on foreign materials and ensuring a steady supply of energy storage solutions for critical applications.

The lead battery industry has set the standard for circularity, with a 99% recycling rate that keeps materials in use and minimizes waste. Expanding this model to other battery chemistries will further strengthen domestic supply chains and enhance sustainability.

Beyond manufacturing, a reliable battery supply chain supports key industries, including transportation, defense, industrial logistics, and utilities. By investing in domestic production and recycling, we ensure long-term economic growth, infrastructure resilience, and a secure energy future.

The pandemic has shown us just how vital the lead battery industry is. Without 12V batteries, first responders can’t function; food and medical supplies can’t reach their destination; essential employees can’t get to their jobs....It’s as simple as that.
