Earlier this week, the Packet Digital and Badland Batteries team was onsite at Capitol Hill for an APFIT technology showcase. Throughout the day, our team displayed and discussed the importance of our work manufacturing battery cells and building finished battery packs here in the United States. As an APFIT procurement awardee, it was important for us to share our work with such an impactful audience.
It was a great afternoon during which we heard support from our nation’s leaders, such as Congressman Ken Calvert of California and Congresswoman Betty McCollum of Minnesota, on the work we and other companies are doing to innovate new technologies, secure our supply chain and improve U.S. national security. APFIT plays a major role for businesses accomplishing these goals by providing procurement funding to transition validated prototypes into scaled, operational use.
What we are achieving at Packet Digital and Badland Batteries is no small feat. We are not just experts in one piece of the battery-building puzzle. We are a full end-to-end battery manufacturer, taking raw materials and building battery cells, while also building, testing, warehousing, shipping and supporting finished battery packs – all done in North Dakota.
Packet Digital and Badland Batteries aren’t just an idea. We are the American-made solution to a secure supply chain and stronger national security, and we are building the products to make this happen right now.
