Brill Power develops a combination of hardware and intelligent software to optimise battery management and increase lifetime performance, safety, and usable energy of lithium‑ion packs. The company says its optimised Active Loading method can increase battery life by up to 60% and allow used batteries to discharge up to 46% more energy. Its technology is applied across stationary energy storage, office and industrial buildings, on‑ and off‑grid systems, residential structures, and electric vehicles. After raising $10.5M in a Series A, Brill plans to double its engineering and commercial teams and expand its product range for static storage and the EV market. Proceeds will also fund further development of BrillAnalytics, a data platform for remote monitoring and forecasting of battery safety, health, and performance. Brill was founded in 2016 as an Oxford University spin‑out and has projects with Aston Martin, AMTE Power, and Delta Cosworth. Brill Power develops a solution that improves energy storage by enabling control of each individual lithium‑ion cell within battery packs. The technology is positioned to increase reliability and efficiency of batteries used to store renewable energy. The company won this year’s New Energy Challenge in Amsterdam, an outcome that the team described as validation of their approach. Brill Power received a €100,000 convertible loan and a year of business advice as part of the prize. Company representatives highlighted the value of interaction and collaboration with specialists, jury members and other startups during the programme. The startup plays into broader efforts to fast‑track development and commercialization of new energy solutions. No operating metrics or prior funding amounts were disclosed in the article.
