About:Energy, a global innovator in battery development software, has announced the launch of ‘The Voltt’, an advanced web-based platform that enables engineers to virtually test, compare, and select battery cells under real-world conditions.
Built on About:Energy’s validated and trusted cell model library, The Voltt introduces a standalone, cloud-based toolset designed to simplify one of the most critical phases in battery development — cell selection. Without the need for complex external software, engineering teams can now identify the most suitable cells for their projects efficiently, reducing time, cost, and risk.
“The Voltt is about transforming the economics of battery programmes for decision-makers,” said Dr. Gavin White, Co-founder and CEO of About:Energy. “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.”
The platform draws on data from thousands of batteries, representing centuries of cumulative testing at About:Energy’s flagship London laboratory. Engineers can run custom drive cycles and mission profiles, simulating performance across various duty cycles with confidence.
With over 30 high-performance cell models, The Voltt caters to sectors like drones, aviation, space, and motorsports. The platform integrates insights from leading cell manufacturers including Molicel, Amprius, Enpower-Greentech, and Inobat, enabling users to compare multiple cells in seconds and make design decisions much earlier in the development process.
Lorenzo Bergamaschi, Product Lead for The Voltt, highlighted the tool’s real-world utility: “Engineers are under huge pressure to make high-stakes choices quickly, often without full system-level data. The Voltt bridges that gap by giving them validated data and clear insight so they can design better systems from the start.”
About:Energy has experienced over 50% growth in the past year, supported by senior hires from Northvolt and Lilium, and guidance from advisors such as Thierry Bolloré (former CEO, Jaguar Land Rover and Renault) and Tudor Brown (Co-founder, ARM Holdings).
The company recently validated The Voltt in collaboration with Quantum Systems’ EFT drone battery division, demonstrating how data-driven simulation can de-risk design decisions in the field.
With a mission to empower engineers with insight, speed, and confidence, About:Energy aims to expand The Voltt’s capabilities across high-performance electrification sectors.
The Voltt is now publicly accessible, with a 14-day free trial available for users exploring the full platform functionality.
