Enovix Corporation ( ENVX ) shares are jumping after the company signed a deal to supply silicon batteries and packs for mixed reality headsets.

As per the terms, Enovix ( ENVX ) expects to receive an initial one-time payment for tooling to facilitate battery pack dimensions and subsequent payments for supplying both sample and production quantities. The financial terms were not disclosed.

Enovix’s high-performance batteries feature a proprietary architecture and manufacturing process that replaces graphite with a 100% active silicon anode, resulting in top-tier energy density.

Dr. Raj Talluri, President and CEO of Enovix ( ENVX ), stated, “This agreement with a leading customer underscores the need for a better battery in the exciting mixed reality market and validates our strategy of focusing on stringent smartphone product requirements.” 

“Our vertically integrated pack manufacturing, enhanced by the acquisition of Routejade, positions us to succeed in adjacent markets like IoT.”
