Investing.com -- Lithium batteries are coming into their own, and that is a reason to buy shares of Enovix Corp (NASDAQ:ENVX) and Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:DFLI), according to analysts at Canaccord Genuity (TSX:CF).

The firm initiated coverage on the stocks as Buys, with a price target of $20 on Enovix and $15 on Dragonfly Energy. 

Enovix calls itself a leader in advanced silicon-anode lithium-ion battery development. Dragonfly makes lithium-ion deep cycle batteries, which it says are displacing lead acid batteries in vehicles, vessels and material handling.

Canaccord analysts said in a note that batteries will solve renewables’ intermittency problems, “not to mention power future mobility and animate our increasing number of power-hungry devices.”

The analysts said the energy systems revolution of today has parallels in the late-1990s revolution in communications. The burgeoning battery industry offers “high-reward endeavors but not without risk,” they said.

They call Enovix a Buy because it has “active engagements” with six mega-cap technology companies, a contract with the Army for an estimated $350 million a year, and a cooperation agreement with a large-cap electronics maker. 

They also note Dragonfly’s partnership with RV-giant Thor, which made a strategic investment in the battery maker of about $15 million last year. 

Shares of Enovix were up 0.4% on Wednesday, while shares of Dragonfly were down 1.5%.
