American Battery Solutions Inc. (ABS) stands as a leading manufacturer and designer of advanced lithium-ion battery systems, established in 2019. The company specializes in creating integrated power solutions for electric vehicles, industrial equipment, and commercial applications. With manufacturing facilities in Michigan and Ohio, ABS has built a reputation for delivering high-performance battery systems that meet strict quality and safety standards. Their expertise spans from concept development through full-scale production, serving automotive, marine, construction, and agricultural sectors. The company’s commitment to technical excellence is demonstrated through their zero-defect manufacturing record, having delivered over 60,000 battery packs without quality issues.
Battery Technology
ABS develops two main product lines: the ALLIANCE Intelligent Battery Series™ for low-voltage applications and the PROLIANCE Intelligent Battery Series™ for high-voltage needs. The ALLIANCE series offers 24V and 48V configurations, specifically engineered for light electric vehicles and industrial equipment. The PROLIANCE series, introduced in 2022, provides scalable solutions ranging from 350V to 800V, designed for commercial vehicles and heavy-duty applications.
Their battery systems incorporate advanced thermal management technology and sophisticated battery management systems (BMS). The BMS enables parallel module addition without reprogramming and supports multiple communication protocols, including CAN-Open and SAE J1939. ABS’s manufacturing capabilities include laser and wire bonding cell-to-cell joining technologies, allowing production of various battery configurations on the same assembly line. The company’s annual production capacity reaches 8GWh of cells, 200,000 modules, and 50,000 complete battery packs.
Recent Projects
In December 2023, ABS marked a significant milestone through its acquisition by Komatsu America Corp. This strategic move aims to enhance Komatsu’s capabilities in developing battery-powered construction and mining equipment. The initial focus centers on creating power solutions for mining operations in North and South America, with plans to expand into global construction equipment markets. The partnership combines ABS’s battery expertise with Komatsu’s equipment manufacturing experience.
Investors
The company’s financial backing began with KCK Group, which provided an initial investment of $50 million in 2019. This support enabled ABS to establish its operations and develop its product portfolio. In late 2023, Komatsu acquired ABS through its U.S. subsidiary, marking a new phase in the company’s development and market reach.
