SuperCap Technologies AS joins HNDIC

HNDIC is pleased to welcome SuperCap Technologies AS as a new member. The Norwegian company develops lithium-free solid-state battery systems designed for demanding environments where conventional lithium-ion batteries may face limitations, from Arctic cold and desert heat to military, industrial and dual-use operations.

Founded in Norway in 2024, SuperCap Technologies is based in Norway, with cell production and an R&D centre located at its technology partner in Seoul, South Korea.

SuperCap’s technology combines solid-state battery chemistry with supercapacitor-grade responsiveness. The result is high power output, broad temperature tolerance and a strong safety profile, without the need for heating or cooling.

Built for extreme conditions

SuperCap Technologies’ battery systems are designed to operate from -40 °C to +80 °C, making them suitable for both Arctic cold and high-temperature environments. The systems are developed for users who depend on reliable power where conventional lithium-ion batteries may face limitations.

Battle-proven

SuperCap Technologies’ battery systems have been tested in both Ukraine and Norway, combining battle-proven experience from Ukraine with harsh-climate testing in Northern Norway. This gives the company practical insight from real users, real reliability requirements and rapidly changing operational conditions, experience that is highly relevant for defence, industrial and dual-use applications.

Key characteristics include continuous charge and discharge up to 6C, burst discharge up to 50C, and up to 10,000 life cycles. The technology also offers

40–50% more usable energy compared with lithium-ion systems.

The company’s solid-state design removes the liquid electrolyte found in conventional lithium-ion batteries, reducing the risk of thermal runaway, fire and explosion. The cells have also demonstrated thermal stability up to approximately 250 °C and passed penetration testing without fire or explosion.

Applications

SuperCap Technologies’ battery systems are aimed at applications where power, safety and reliability are critical. This includes drones and unmanned systems, portable power solutions, robotics, maritime and underwater systems, military communications, industrial use and other dual-use applications.

The company currently maintains a partner network across Norway, Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.

Strengthening HNDIC’s energy competence

Energy is a critical capability in the High North. With SuperCap Technologies on board, HNDIC strengthens the cluster’s competence in energy storage for cold climates, autonomous systems and demanding operational environments.

HNDIC looks forward to a strong and long-term collaboration with SuperCap Technologies, and to following the company’s continued development.
