High Performance Battery Holding AG (HPB) is a Swiss technology developer specializing in solid-state battery innovation. Founded by Prof. Dr. Günther Hambitzer, the company builds on more than 30 years of research in battery aging and performance enhancement. HPB has developed a series-ready solid-state battery technology that offers significant advantages in safety, longevity, and environmental performance. With intellectual property protection in 96 countries, HPB’s technology represents a substantial advancement in energy storage solutions, particularly for stationary applications and potential automotive sector implementations.
Battery Technology
HPB’s solid-state battery technology sets new standards in the industry through its non-flammable electrolyte design and enhanced performance characteristics. The batteries demonstrate exceptional durability, achieving over 12,500 charging cycles under demanding conditions – approximately five times longer than conventional lithium-ion alternatives. This extended lifespan significantly reduces replacement needs and associated costs.
The technology maintains high conductivity even in extreme cold conditions, eliminating preheating requirements. Environmental benefits include a 50% improvement in sustainability metrics compared to traditional batteries, achieved without using critical raw materials like cobalt. The production process is optimized for series manufacturing, allowing for efficient scaling while maintaining consistent quality.
HPB offers three distinct licensing options: geographic licensing for stationary applications, manufacturing licenses by region, and utilization of the HPB Solid-State Electrolyte for custom battery development. These options enable various industrial applications, from wind power storage to solar energy systems and hydrogen production facilities.
Recent Projects
In recent developments, HPB has established significant partnerships, including agreements with Swiss Clean Battery AG and Electric One Holding in India. Production of HPB Solid-State Batteries is scheduled to begin in early 2026 in Germany, with an anticipated 24-month timeline from project initiation to series production. The company recently gained increased visibility through its feature on Bloomberg Television’s “New to The Street” program, showcasing its innovative battery technology to a global audience.
Investors
HPB maintains a strong financial foundation supported by over 300 private investors. The company’s unique financing approach involves direct share sales without public listing or capital rounds, preventing ownership dilution. This strategy allows HPB to maintain strategic control while distributing up to 75% of annual net profits to shareholders. The company’s focus on private investment has created a stable financial structure that supports ongoing technological development and market expansion.
