Founded in 2020 in Aachen, Germany, ACCURE Battery Intelligence Inc. is a leading provider of predictive battery analytics solutions. The company was founded by Dr. Kai-Philipp Kairies, Dr. Johannes Palmer and Dr. Georg Angenendt, renowned experts from leading battery research groups and technology companies. The company’s mission is to improve the safety, reliability, and sustainability of battery systems in industries such as electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage, and maritime applications.
ACCURE helps organizations improve battery performance, extend battery life, and prevent safety incidents through advanced cloud-based analytics and machine learning. Since its formation, ACCURE has achieved significant accomplishments, including managing over 5 GWh of battery storage, monitoring over 1 million battery modules, and supporting over 100 battery types. The company’s predictive analytics platform has prevented over 100 potential thermal runaway events worldwide.
People are very familiar with the battery management system, the BMS, and most understand the energy management system, the EMS. But there is the question of where predictive battery analytics falls. Are you a BMS, or are you an EMS? Well, we are a different layer, a whole new category. – Matt Basch
Battery Analytics for Energy Storage
ACCURE’s predictive battery analytics platform addresses critical battery management challenges. Notable capabilities include safety monitoring and risk mitigation, performance optimization, lifetime prediction and warranty management, and scalability and flexibility.
The platform continuously monitors battery systems for anomalies, manufacturing defects, and equipment issues. By analyzing voltage, current, and temperature data, it provides early warnings of potential safety risks, such as thermal runaway. This proactive approach has helped customers avoid costly and dangerous incidents. With the data collected, ACCURE identifies underperforming battery assets and provides actionable insights to improve efficiency. For example, its algorithms correct for state of charge inaccuracies in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, ensuring accurate energy management for grid-scale storage and EV fleets.
ACCURE’s cloud-based platform is highly scalable and capable of managing data spanning from 100 to over 100,000 battery modules. Customers can choose specific analytics modules—such as safety, performance, or lifetime—tailored to their needs. By using predictive analytics to estimate battery aging and simulate future performance, ACCURE helps businesses plan maintenance, extend battery life, and ensure compliance with warranty terms. The platform’s high-confidence aging predictions have been shown to increase battery lifetime by up to 25%.
Applications Across Industries
ACCURE’s technology is used in a wide range of industries and applications, such as:
- Electric Vehicles: The platform monitors EV batteries, optimizing performance and ensuring safety for fleets and individual vehicles.
- Energy Storage: ACCURE provides critical insights for grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), helping operators maximize efficiency and reliability.
- Maritime and Bus Fleets: The company’s solutions are used to manage batteries in maritime vessels and public transport systems, such as e-buses in Berlin and New York City.
Our technology is versatile and supports a wide range of industries. Much of our customer base is in large-scale utility storage. They move faster than traditional car manufacturers. That is part of the reason we are quite active in this market. – Matt Basch
The company has also formed strategic partnerships, such as its collaboration with Iqony, a European leader in utility-scale energy storage. By monitoring six energy storage sites in Germany, ACCURE has helped Iqony anticipate and address potential issues, ensuring safe and efficient operations.
Strategy for the Growing Battery Market
ACCURE’s innovative approach has earned widespread recognition. In 2024, the company received the Energy Storage Safety Product of the Year Award for its predictive analytics platform. Additionally, ACCURE was named to Cleantech Group’s 2024 Global Cleantech 100 list, demonstrating its contributions to sustainable innovation.
The young company is well-positioned to support the industry’s expansion as demand for battery energy storage continues to grow. The company is looking into innovations, including enhanced insurance solutions in partnership with insurance providers. For example, by integrating predictive analytics into insurance offerings, ACCURE is helping asset owners secure better terms and reduce risk.
ACCURE’s commitment to safety, performance, and sustainability makes it a valuable partner for businesses that manage the complexities of battery systems. With a strong foundation in AI-driven analytics and a growing global presence, ACCURE is poised to play an essential role in the future of energy storage and e-mobility.
