Rincell, a US advanced chemistry battery cell manufacturer, has unveiled the RC50, a high-energy, high-power 21700 cell engineered for versatility
Among its customers is Autorev, an Indian manufacturer of battery packs for electric scooters and motorcycles, reinforcing Rincell’s position in India’s fast-growing electric two-wheeler market, one of the largest in the world.
Already shipping in commercial end products and undergoing qualification for new applications, the RC50 addresses a range of demanding applications, including medical X-ray machines, industrial equipment, electric scooters, electric motorcycles, and commercial drones. Across its full cell range, including the RC50 and RC50T, Rincell expects to have shipped over 500,000 cells by year-end.
With demand accelerating, Rincell has secured follow-on purchase orders for delivery over the next 12 months, with cells actively shipping to customers in the US and India, including Autorev.
The RC50 packs 5Ah capacity and delivers 25A continuously and 50A in bursts. It retains 80& of its capacity after more than 1,200 full cycles, a result validated through customers’ own testing, delivering operational longevity that cuts replacement costs, downtime, and waste.
This combination makes the RC50 versatile. For example, in medical imaging, it delivers the dependable performance and long service life healthcare manufacturers demand; in electric scooters and motorcycles, it withstands the daily cycling of micromobility; and in industrial equipment, it brings power and longevity to products built to work hard for years. It has also been a suitable choice for commercial drones, where its endurance and power help to keep fleets in the air.
Jignesh Parikh, co-founder and CEO of Rincell, said, “The RC50 is our all-rounder. It combines high energy, high power and long life in one cell, driving adoption across a wide spectrum of demanding commercial markets and building major order traction. Delivering that level of performance consistently and at scale is where so much of the battery industry has struggled, and it is what Rincell was built to do.”
Mohammad Ubeduddin, CTO of Autorev, said, “Electric two-wheelers are one of the toughest jobs a battery can do. Riders in India push their scooters and motorcycles hard every day, through heat and stop-start traffic, so our packs need range, punch and a long working life all at once. The RC50 gives us all three in a single cell, and it has performed consistently in our own testing. That is what lets us build packs our customers can rely on as India’s electric two-wheeler market scales.”
The RC50 is certified for international shipping (UN 38.3), the European market (IEC 62133), and India (BIS), enabling customers to design it into products for markets worldwide.
The launch follows Rincell’s unveiling of the RC50T at DroneX in London in September. Both RC50T and RC50 cells are now in production and shipping: the RC50T for drones that demand peak power, and the RC50 for applications requiring energy, power, and long life in a single cell.
