Acculon Energy is a battery technology company founded in 2022 through the merger of CAR Technologies (established in 2009) and the battery prototyping division of Technicity LLC. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the company delivers advanced energy storage solutions for industrial and commercial sectors, emphasizing safety, scalability, and U.S.-based innovation. Its mission is to “Power the Future of Industry” by combining AI-powered design, automated manufacturing, and rigorous testing to address evolving energy demands.
Acculon’s portfolio includes sodium-ion and lithium-ion (LFP, NMC) battery modules for applications like material handling equipment, telecom backup power, and low-speed EVs. The company’s 2GWh production capacity—supported by state-of-the-art facilities in Ohio—enables rapid scaling of solutions ranging from kilowatt-hours to megawatt-hours. All products undergo stringent testing in a dedicated lab, ensuring adherence to UL standards (UL 2580, UL 9540) and other industry regulations. By prioritizing domestic production and multi-chemistry expertise, Acculon serves as a key player in strengthening U.S. battery supply chains.
Battery Technology
Acculon Energy’s core offerings are built around the CORE product lines, designed to balance performance with safety across industrial applications. The CORE Modules include sodium-ion and LFP batteries in 24V and 48V configurations, engineered to meet UL certification requirements. These systems cater to sectors such as material handling (e.g., forklifts) and backup power, leveraging long cycle life and stable thermal management.
The CORE Custom platform enables tailored solutions for specific needs, incorporating advanced technologies like silicon-anode lithium-ion, semi-solid-state chemistries, and high-power LFP (HPLFP) designs. Key features include UL-certifiable BMS, scalability from KWh to MWh, and optional 100% American-made materials. Acculon’s AI-driven design process optimizes configurations, while fully automated manufacturing streamlines production and reduces defects.
In R&D, the company focuses on sodium-ion batteries as a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion. These systems offer enhanced safety, lower costs, and a domestic supply chain advantage, positioning them for telecom, solar integration, and grid storage. Acculon also collaborates with partners like Pyrophobic Systems to improve Li-ion fire safety, ensuring compliance with evolving safety standards.
Recent Projects
In 2023–2024, Acculon advanced its expansion plans and partnerships. Key highlights include:
- Sodium-Ion Commercialization: In early 2024, the company launched production of sodium-ion modules and packs for mobility and stationary markets, with recent sales targeting industrial applications in place of lead-acid systems.
- Strategic Alliances: A partnership with HiNa Battery Technology Co. (October 2024) will expand sodium-ion adoption in U.S. industrial settings, while collaborations with Pyrophobic Systems (September 2023) improved Li-ion fire safety through advanced BMS integration.
- Manufacturing Growth: Two state-of-the-art production lines installed in 2023 doubled Acculon’s capacity to 2GWh, supporting both industrial and EV markets. This expansion underscores the company’s commitment to U.S. domestic production and efficiency.
Investors
Acculon has secured significant funding to drive growth and innovation. In August 2022, Terex Corporation led a Series A round, followed by an $8M investment from an unnamed Fortune 500 company in late 2022. In October 2023, an additional $8M venture debt facility bolstered manufacturing expansion. The company is preparing for a Series B round to further scale operations and pursue next-generation battery technologies.
