Sion Power to Supply Lithium Sulfur Batteries for Airbus Aircraft

Airbus Defense and Space and Sion Power have agreed to power the Zephyr unmanned aerial vehicle with Sion’s lithium sulfur batteries.

Sion will assemble the Li-S battery packs in Tucson Arizona under the three-year agreement, Sion said Wednesday.

Sion previously delivered batteries for the Zephyr 7 program.

Airbus is acquiring the batteries for the Zephyr 8, which the company built to fly in different environments such as those in winter seasons.
