What Libattion does
Libattion AG is a Swiss battery energy storage system (BESS) provider founded in 2018 and headquartered in Glattbrugg/Opfikon, with a Technology Center and production facility in Biberist. The company designs and manufactures modular stationary storage systems ranging from 100 kWh to 100 MWh, built primarily on upcycled second-life electric vehicle batteries combined with LFP cell chemistries (EVE for e-Rack, CATL for e-Container) and managed by a proprietary Battery Management System branded as Software Intelligence. The product portfolio spans three form factors: e-Rack v2 (indoor DC, 97-130 kWh per rack, scalable to 5 MWh), e-Cabinet (outdoor AC all-in-one, 232 kWh per cabinet, scalable to 5 MWh), and e-Container (outdoor DC, 2-5.6 MWh per unit, scalable to 100 MWh), with the e-Container FLEX variant targeting utility-scale projects with integrated 16 kV medium-voltage skids.
The company sells BESS hardware together with system integration, commissioning, and long-term managed service through a direct enterprise sales motion targeting commercial and industrial customers, utilities, and grid operators in Switzerland. Applications include peak shaving, PV integration, EV fast charging support, and grid services such as aFRR and FCR. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, delivered under multi-year contracts with an After Sales Hub in Switzerland. Distribution is direct enterprise sales supplemented by engineering and SI partners (Scherler, Saphir/Indrivetec) and strategic investor-customer relationships, notably with Swiss utility EBL.
Libattion has delivered 40+ projects across C&I, data centers, events, and utility customers including EBL, G. Baumgartner AG, HI Productions AG, ColoBâle AG, and Saphir Group/Indrivetec, and operates with 11-50 employees. The company is privately held and closed a €14 million Series A in June 2024 led by A&G Energy Transition Tech Fund, with participation from Teknia, HCapital New Ideas II, and EBL, to fund European and global expansion. The company is led by CEO and co-founder Stefan Bahamonde.

Libattion product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Libattion AG designs, manufactures and integrates modular Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) built from upcycled second-life electric vehicle batteries, with capacities ranging from 100 kWh to 100 MWh for commercial, industrial and utility-scale customers. The company delivers end-to-end responsibility covering system design and validation, manufacturing (e-Rack, e-Cabinet, e-Container), commissioning, and long-term field service, all managed through its proprietary Software Intelligence Battery Management System.
Product overview
Libattion offers a modular battery energy storage system (BESS) product line ranging from 100 kWh to 100 MWh, built using upcycled electric vehicle batteries. The portfolio consists of three core hardware products: e-Rack (indoor DC rack, 97-130 kWh), e-Cabinet (outdoor/indoor AC all-in-one cabinet, 232 kWh), and e-Container (outdoor DC container, 2-5.5 MWh). All products share the same proprietary Software Intelligence platform and BMS, enabling applications from commercial/industrial peak shaving and frequency regulation to utility-scale grid storage. The upcycling approach using LFP chemistry from second-life EV batteries provides a sustainable alternative with reduced CO2 footprint.

Products and services
- e-Container Outdoor DC-Block containerized battery energy storage system using a modular rack design for large-scale utility applications. Each container scales from 2 MWh to 5.6 MWh, with system-level scalability up to 100 MWh. Uses LFP (CATL) cell chemistry, liquid cooling, and Libattion's integrated Swiss Software Intelligence. Aimed at utilities and large C&I customers needing grid-scale storage, frequency regulation and ancillary services.
- e-Cabinet All-in-one plug-and-play AC battery storage cabinet integrating battery and Power Conversion System (PCS) in a single enclosure. Delivers 232 kWh capacity at 115 kW (0.5P rate), scalable up to 5 MWh by paralleling up to 10 units. Compact 1500 × 1300 × 2050 mm form factor suits space-constrained indoor and outdoor C&I installations; certified to IEC 62619 and VDE.
- e-Rack v2 Indoor DC battery rack system delivering 97-130 kWh per rack using LFP (EVE) cell chemistry with air cooling. Scalable to multiple MWh configurations and manufactured in Switzerland from upcycled EV batteries, avoiding up to 196 kg CO2 per kWh versus new batteries. Designed for demanding C&I indoor applications with up to 10,000 charge-discharge cycles.

Libattion competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Fluence Energy: Global market leader in utility-scale battery energy storage with grid-forming software stack. Directly comparable to Libattion's utility-scale e-Container product line, but at vastly larger scale and balance sheet. Both serve C&I and utility customers with modular BESS plus energy management software.
- Tesla (Megapack / Energy): Tesla's Megapack and Powerwall product lines target the same C&I and utility-scale BESS market as Libattion. Closest direct competitor in containerized lithium BESS with integrated software, though Tesla operates globally and at materially larger scale.
- Saft (TotalEnergies): French battery manufacturer (subsidiary of TotalEnergies) producing industrial and grid-scale lithium-ion BESS with comparable certifications and European footprint. Directly comparable product positioning in utility and industrial stationary storage markets.
- Wärtsilä Energy Storage (GridSolv): Finnish technology company offering GridSolv containerized BESS targeting the same utility and C&I customers as Libattion. Provides integrated energy storage with GEMS digital energy management platform — directly analogous to Libattion's modular architecture + Software Intelligence positioning.
- Connected Energy: UK-based specialist in second-life EV battery energy storage systems. Closest comparable in business model to Libattion's upcycling approach, with similar focus on repurposing end-of-life automotive batteries into stationary storage for commercial and grid applications.
Broad incumbents
- BYD Energy Storage: Chinese vertically integrated battery and BESS manufacturer with a broad product portfolio covering residential to utility-scale. Competes directly with Libattion in commercial/utility BESS and benefits from cell manufacturing scale that Libattion sources externally.
- ABB (ABB E-mobility / Electrification): Global electrical equipment giant supplying power conversion systems, switchgear, and increasingly BESS solutions for industrial and utility customers. Comparable in delivering integrated energy storage solutions for European C&I and grid customers, but as part of a much broader portfolio.
Emerging players
- Powervault: UK company producing residential and small commercial BESS using second-life EV batteries. Similar upcycling thesis to Libattion but operating at smaller scale and in residential/SME segment rather than C&I and utility.
- Northvolt: European battery cell manufacturer building vertically integrated battery and energy storage business. While primarily a cell producer, Northvolt's grid-scale storage arm competes for the same European utility BESS opportunities as Libattion and shares the sustainability positioning.
- Energy Vault: Swiss-listed energy storage company offering alternative storage technologies (gravity and battery-hybrid) targeting utility-scale applications. Partial competitor in the European C&I and utility storage market, with comparable geographic focus on European energy transition.
