The Voltt, a brand-new web-based platform and toolset that allows engineers to virtually test and compare battery cells under real-world conditions, was introduced by About:Energy.
A new feature based on About:Energy’s reliable and verified cell model library is the Voltt platform. With The Voltt, the company’s tried-and-true model library, at its heart, About:Energy’s new cloud platform is a stand-alone toolkit for cell selection that eliminates the need to plug into complicated extra software.
The new product puts the ability to choose cells, the most important choice in high-performance battery programs, at the fingertips of technical teams. Before buying or prototyping, it allows them to find the correct cell more quickly than ever before.
Every program’s economics and performance are based on cell selection, and The Voltt significantly cuts down on the time, expense, and risk involved in that process. With the introduction of this market-leading platform, About:Energy enters the next stage of its strategic expansion, moving beyond custom data and modeling services to include scalable software solutions.
The Voltt provides engineers with unparalleled evidence to help them make the best decisions for actual programs, based on data gathered from thousands of batteries and the equivalent of decades of testing at About:Energy’s flagship laboratory in London.
Every simulation is supported by this extensive, verified dataset, which gives teams the confidence to forecast performance under any duty cycle. Without the need for any pre-existing modeling software infrastructure, custom drive cycles and mission profiles may be executed, transforming complex data into useful insights that improve performance in the real world.
Utilizing collaborations with Molicel, Amprius, Enpower-Greentech, and Inobat, The Voltt accesses over 30 high-performance cell types targeted at verticals including drones, aviation, space, racing, and more to provide clients with unparalleled knowledge. They may confidently make design judgments much earlier in the development process since they can compare several cells in a matter of seconds.
Going forward, About:Energy is expanding The Voltt to address one of the most difficult electrification problems: helping companies in all high-performance industries make the best cell selections the first time.
The product has been validated in the field through a recent partnership with Quantum Systems’ EFT drone battery division, demonstrating how reliable data and simulation can reduce the risk associated with important design choices.
About:Energy is here to provide engineers the knowledge, speed, and self-assurance they need to concentrate on creating the upcoming generation of electrified products.
Leadership Comments
Dr. Gavin White, Co-founder and CEO of About:Energy said:
“The Voltt is about transforming the economics of battery programmes for decision-makers. In aviation, for example, every kilogram of battery weight affects range, safety and cost. By giving leaders the evidence to choose the right cell at the outset, we’re empowering them to make decisions that unlock performance and commercial advantage without costly trial-and-error.”
Lorenzo Bergamaschi, The Voltt Product Lead of About:Energy said:
“Engineers are under huge pressure to make high-stakes choices quickly, often without full system-level data because at early stages manufacturers may not yet have it available. The Voltt bridges that gap by giving them validated data and clear insight so they can evaluate options confidently and design better systems from the start.”
The Voltt is available for public viewing here to commemorate its debut as a stand-alone platform. Users who register can access the full platform functionality for free for 14 days.
About: From October 6 to 9, Energy will also be on display at The Battery Show North America 2025 at UK Pavilion, Stand 3222.
