- Cell evaluation is the toughest strategic choice in battery programmes. Fragmented data and long testing cycles make choosing the right cell slow, risky and expensive.
- The Voltt, the new dedicated platform and toolset for cell selection, provides a faster route to the right decisions – all in one place, without the need for additional software.
- With The Voltt, engineers can model, test and compare cells under real duty cycles, using About:Energy’s existing data from 30+ high-performance cells and extensive in-house testing.
- First-time-right choices cut risk and time. Programmes move from months to weeks and deliver better range, lifetime, cost and charging performance.
- The cutting-edge platform has already been proven with early customers. In use across drones, aviation, space and motorsport with measurable savings of up to six months in selection time and improved confidence.
- The Voltt is publicly viewable here, with a 14-day free trial for users who sign up to access full platform functionality, as About:Energy also exhibits at The Battery Show North America 2025 from 6th to 9th October, at the UK Pavilion, Stand 3222

London, 07 October 2025; About:Energy, a world-leading innovator in battery development software, today announced the launch of The Voltt – an all-new, web-based platform and toolset that enables engineers to virtually test and compare battery cells under real-world conditions.
The Voltt platform represents a new capability built on About:Energy’s trusted, validated cell model library. With the business’ tried-and-tested model library The Voltt at its core, About:Energy’s dedicated new cloud platform is a standalone toolset dedicated to cell selection – with no need to plug into complex additional software.
The new offering gives engineering teams the power to make cell selection – the most critical decision in high-performance battery programmes – seamlessly at their fingertips. It enables them to identify the right cell more efficiently than ever before, before purchase or prototyping.
Cell selection determines the economics and performance of every programme, and The Voltt dramatically reduces the time, cost and risk associated with making that choice. The launch of this industry-leading platform marks About:Energy’s next phase of strategic growth, expanding its offering from bespoke data and modelling services into scalable software tools.
Built on data collected from thousands of batteries and the equivalent of centuries of testing at About:Energy’s flagship laboratory in London, The Voltt gives engineers unmatched evidence to make the right decisions for real programmes.
This deep, validated dataset underpins every simulation, enabling teams to predict performance under any duty cycle with confidence. Custom drive cycles and mission profiles can be run without any existing modelling software infrastructure, turning complex data into actionable insights that drive real-world performance.
With access to more than 30 high-performance cell models geared towards verticals such as drones, aviation, space, motorsports and more, The Voltt draws on partnerships with Molicel, Amprius, Enpower-Greentech and Inobat to give customers unmatched insight. They can compare multiple cells within seconds, making confident design decisions much earlier in the development process.
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.”
About:Energy has grown by more than 50 % in the past year with senior hires from Northvolt, Lilium and other leading technology companies, guided by advisors such as Thierry Bolloré (former CEO of Jaguar Land Rover and Renault) and Tudor Brown (Co-founder and former President of ARM Holdings). The company is strengthening its technical and customer support capabilities to give engineering teams the tools and evidence they need to move faster and design with confidence from the very first stage of development.
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.”
Looking ahead, About:Energy is scaling The Voltt to tackle one of the toughest challenges in electrification: enabling companies across every high-performance sector to make the right cell choices first-time. Recent collaboration with Quantum Systems’ EFT drone battery division has validated the product in the field, showing how trusted data and simulation can de risk critical design decisions. About:Energy is here to empower engineers with insight, speed and confidence so they can focus on building the next generation of electrified products.
To mark the launch of The Voltt as a standalone platform, it is publicly viewable here, with a 14-day free trial for users who sign up to access full platform functionality.
About:Energy is also exhibiting at The Battery Show North America 2025 from 6th to 9th October, at the UK Pavilion, Stand 3222.
