Xell Energy is advancing next-generation battery technology built on a strong foundation of innovation originally developed by IBM. This technology heritage provides Xell Energy with a powerful starting point as we continue to commercialize, optimize, and scale advanced battery solutions for demanding global applications.
​
IBM has a long history in battery and materials research. In 2009, IBM launched the Battery 500 project to explore next-generation lithium battery technologies. In 2019, IBM announced a breakthrough battery system designed without cobalt or heavy metals, using materials that could be sourced from seawater.
​
Building on this research foundation, Xell Energy has been driving the next phase of development—combining materials innovation, cell engineering, manufacturing scale-up, and battery system integration to deliver high-performance energy solutions for commercial mobility, robotics, unmanned systems, and intelligent equipment.
