Overview
Raising $30 million to expand battery pack and module manufacturing capacity
First closing with a Fortune 500 investor for $8 million
Over 15 years of experience in battery design, cell selection, and product certification
Tailored battery solutions for commercial and industrial applications, including domestic engineering, manufacturing, and dedicated support
Chemistry-neutral by focusing on advanced battery modules and packs (65-80% of value-add), without manufacturing the battery cells, enabling its team of 30+ engineers to provide lowest-cost-of-ownership solutions
Proven partnerships with blue chip OEMs for Off highway, Highway, and Stationary / Data centers segments
~$500MM of supply agreement in place over the next seven years
Our Journey Towards Full-Service Battery Manufacturing
In June 2022, CAR Technologies, a tier-one advanced battery lab founded in 2009, and Technicity LLC’s battery prototyping and controls division combined to create Acculon Energy, Inc.
In August 2022, Terex Corp. led a Series A investment in Acculon Energy with a $10 million investment, focusing on advanced battery programs of industrial and commercial OEMs.
Leveraging deep industry relationships and technical knowledge, Acculon set out to deliver cost-competitive, high-quality battery modules and packs.
In October 2023, Acculon acquired and is customizing two new, state-of-the-art manufacturing lines with a combined capacity of 2GWh for Acculon’s scalable battery module architecture. These manufacturing lines help Acculon address the burgeoning demand for energy storage solutions in North America with products made in the US, driven by the incentives in the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act.

Specific Risks
Technical Risks
- Quality and Reliability Issues: Failures in design or production could lead to costly recalls and damage the company’s reputation.
- Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Dependence on foreign suppliers for critical raw materials like lithium, subject to geopolitical risks, could disrupt production.
Operational Risks
- Manufacturing Challenges: Scaling production while maintaining quality in advanced battery manufacturing can be difficult.
Regulatory Risks
- Changing Environmental Regulations: New regulations could impose additional costs for compliance, particularly with raw material sourcing and waste disposal.
- Safety Standards Compliance: Meeting stringent global safety standards may require continuous upgrades, adding to operational costs.
Environmental Risks
- Hazardous Waste Management: Improper disposal of battery waste could result in environmental contamination, fines, and legal liabilities.
- Climate Impact on Supply Chain: Climate change could disrupt the availability of raw materials and transportation, affecting supply chains.
Customer Acceptance Risks
- Market Adoption Uncertainty: Slow adoption of new battery technologies due to customer concerns about cost, safety, or performance.
- Price Sensitivity: High costs associated with advanced battery technology may lead to a potential loss of business to cheaper alternatives.
Patent Risks
- Intellectual Property Challenges: Risk of infringement on existing patents could lead to costly legal battles.
- Reverse Engineering: Competitors may replicate proprietary technology, eroding competitive advantage.
Other
- Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and carry a high degree of risk – including the loss of the entire investment.
