Ilika CEO Graeme Purdy: ORKA deep-sea batteries open up defence and marine markets

Ilika's new ORKA deep-sea battery brand targets urgent UK defence demand for protecting undersea pipelines and cables.

• ORKA brand launched: Ilika's new ORKA brand targets underwater battery applications, developed alongside its core Goliath automotive battery program as an early commercialization path.
• Deep-sea pressure tolerance: ORKA cells reportedly operate at depths up to 6,000 meters without heavy steel pressure vessels, which become economically unviable below ~2,500 meters.
