Xell Energy and IBM
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.
