What Relectrify does
Relectrify is a Melbourne, Australia-based battery technology company (founded 2015, 51–100 employees, legal entity Relectrify Holdings Pty Ltd) that designs and sells advanced battery energy storage systems (BESS) for commercial & industrial energy users and utility-scale renewable asset owners. Its core platform, CellSwitch, is a distributed battery management system that independently monitors and controls nearly every individual cell in a battery pack — claimed to be the only BESS in the world with this level of control — and is the technology foundation for both its flagship AC1 product and its ReVolve second-life product line.
The company's flagship product, the AC1, is a 250 kW / 1 MWh modular inverterless AC battery that generates grid-compliant AC power directly from battery cells without a traditional inverter, using CellSwitch to claim 20% more energy delivered over a 20-year lifetime, 40% greater capacity retention after 20 years of daily cycling, and 99% reliable energy delivery per cycle. A second product line, ReVolve, repurposes end-of-life EV batteries (e.g., nine Nissan Leaf batteries in a 120 kWh system at Nissan's Dandenong casting plant) at roughly 30% lower cost and 30% extended lifetime. Manufacturing is in Taiwan, with design and R&D in Australia; a US market launch is planned for 2026.
Relectrify's revenue model is hardware-led (AC1 system sales) with a service and capacity-management attach (remote monitoring, preventative maintenance, long-term performance management under multi-year contracts). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to C&I energy users and utility-scale asset owners, with a website-driven commercial-enquiry funnel and an early-adopter program for the US. Cumulative disclosed funding is approximately US$74M equivalent across equity rounds led by At One Ventures, Toyota Ventures, Energy Innovation Capital, CEFC, and others, plus AU$25M from ARENA, AU$2.9M from the Industry Growth Program, and a $19M equity round including a strategic minority investment from US-based NRG Energy.

Relectrify product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Relectrify designs, manufactures, and sells the AC1, a 250 kW / 1 MWh modular inverterless AC battery energy storage system (BESS) built on its proprietary CellSwitch platform that independently monitors and controls nearly 4,000 individual battery cells. The company also offers the ReVolve second-life battery energy storage product, which repurposes end-of-life EV batteries for stationary storage at lower cost, and provides long-term service, remote monitoring, preventative maintenance, and capacity management for installed systems.
Product overview
Relectrify offers two interconnected product lines centered on battery energy storage: the AC1 is the company's flagship next-generation BESS featuring inverterless design and cell-level control via the CellSwitch technology platform, while ReVolve targets second-life EV battery applications for circular economy use cases. Both products leverage the proprietary CellSwitch system for independent cell monitoring and control, with the AC1 serving new battery installations and ReVolve enabling reuse of end-of-life EV batteries.
