What Prohelion does

Prohelion Pty Ltd is a Brisbane, Australia-based private battery technology company founded in 2016 that designs and manufactures battery management systems (BMS), motor controllers, solar MPPT charge controllers, and modular energy storage systems for air, land, sea, and space applications. Its core product architecture is a distributed BMS (D1000, with Gen1 and Gen2 variants) comprising a Battery Management Unit (BMU) coordinating up to 32 Cell Management Units (CMUs) for monitoring up to 448 cells at 1000V, with a Battery Junction Unit (BJU) integrating Isabellenhuette IVT-S current sensing. The portfolio also includes the C48 Gen2 centralized 48V BMS, the WaveSculptor22 14kW three-phase motor controller, the Elmar Solar MPPT charge controller, development kits such as "Solar Car in a Box," and a custom battery tab welding service for 50–200 μm nickel tabs. All products are designed to integrate with Prohelion's Profinity software platform, which provides real-time monitoring, data logging, cloud connectivity, and machine-learning-assisted trend and fault detection on CAN-enabled devices.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market: a direct e-commerce storefront for standardized products and development kits (priced from $43.50 for a Gen1 CMU harness up to $7,794 for the Solar Car in a Box), paired with an enterprise/custom solution sales motion delivered through consultation requests for bespoke battery systems. Prohelion serves four primary segments — aerospace and space (including a co-development program with Hypersonix for the DART scramjet), electric vehicles and land transport (e.g., Flinders University custom 316V 60kWh pack, Cars Pty Ltd all-terrain vehicle), marine and maritime, and energy storage (Vaulta casing-integration partnership). The firm is founder-owned, with 1–10 employees including five named technical leaders covering mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, and operates with global shipping from its Tennyson, Queensland headquarters. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or certifications beyond Australian and New Zealand privacy law compliance are disclosed.
