SafeCore acts like a fuse at the core of the cell, shutting down the flow of electricity when the cell is headed toward thermal runaway from overcharge, an internal short or external heat. The company says manufacturers can implement it within six months without major capital spending or longer cycle times.

Amionx was spun out in 2016 from American Lithium Energy, which makes custom batteries for military applications. It holds an exclusive license to ALE's patents for all non-military markets and is based in Vista, California. Powerbanc Group and Amionx have announced plans to use SafeCore in power banks.
