Expion360 Inc. (NASDAQ: XPON) announced on Wednesday that it will soon release a new family of next-generation lithium-ion batteries designed to deliver higher energy capacity, expanded functionality, and broader application support -- a strategic step toward growing its footprint beyond recreational markets into industrial, off-grid and commercial power systems. (GlobeNewswire)

â?¡ New Battery Lineup Highlights Performance Gains

Expion360's upcoming product line includes three upgraded models with improved capacity and advanced features. Commercial availability for the new batteries is expected in the second half of 2026.

• Group 27 - 12.8V 140Ah: Offers about a 6% capacity increase compared to the existing generation.
• GC2H - 12.8V 180Ah: Boosts capacity by approximately 11% over prior GC2 models.
• EX1 - 12.8V 420Ah: The flagship model combines high energy density with smart capabilities such as VHC(TM) internal heating to maintain reliable cold-temperature operation and CAN Bus communication for system integration.

These advancements are aimed at improving uptime and reliability -- especially in applications where power interruption can be costly or dangerous -- such as surveillance systems, remote monitoring gear, backup power installations and industrial equipment.

ð?? Smarter, More Versatile Power Solutions

The new batteries incorporate Expion360's proprietary technologies, including patent-pending VHC(TM) (Vertical Heat Conduction) internal heating and SmartTalk(TM) Bluetooth connectivity, enabling:

• Reliable cold-weather performance without external heating equipment.
• Mobile device monitoring of battery health and status via Bluetooth.
• CAN Bus communication, which allows deep integration with controllers and power systems in complex installations.

These features make the systems easier to deploy and manage in distributed environments, such as marine vessels, RVs, off-grid cabins, and distributed industrial sites where traditional power may be unreliable or unavailable.

ð?"? More Value, Lower Cost, Better Margins

According to the company, the upcoming models are designed to be offered at a lower price point than equivalent existing options while delivering higher capacity and performance -- a combination that could improve both customer value and internal profit margins. Enhanced manufacturability and design efficiency are expected to allow Expion360 to reinvest savings into further product innovation and market expansion.

ð?"¦ Applications Across Multiple Sectors

While Expion360 has historically focused on the recreational vehicle (RV) and marine markets, the new models represent a shift toward applications in industrial and commercial power systems. Examples include:

• Off-grid and backup power
• Infrastructure monitoring and remote sensors
• Commercial power support for equipment and devices
  These sectors increasingly demand high-capacity, durable battery solutions that can withstand challenging environments -- capabilities these next-generation models aim to deliver.

� Safety and Certification Status

The batteries have been engineered to meet UL 1973 safety standards, a key benchmark for stationary battery systems, though final certification is still pending.

ð?"? Why It Matters

• Performance Improvements: Higher energy capacities and smart features can make Expion360's products more competitive against legacy and emerging battery makers.
• Broader Market Reach: By targeting not just recreational users but also industrial and commercial segments, Expion360 could tap into larger, more diversified revenue streams.
• Enhanced Value: Lower expected pricing alongside improved performance may help accelerate adoption and expand the company's dealer and OEM ecosystem.

As Expion360 prepares for commercial deployment in late 2026, investors and industry watchers will be monitoring how effectively the company can convert these product upgrades into expanded sales and market share in both existing and new battery markets.
