What Akku Power does

Akku Power GmbH is a privately held, owner-managed German manufacturer of custom and standardized battery pack systems, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Schorndorf, Baden-Württemberg. The company designs and produces battery packs, chargers, switching power supplies, analysis devices, and proprietary battery management systems (BMS) based on Li-Ion, Ni-MH, and emerging cell chemistries, using exclusively brand-name cells from Panasonic, Samsung, and LG. Its technology stack includes in-house SMD assembly, an EMC laboratory, patented UCP fourfold protection electronics, and a patented Mainsconnector switching power supply; products carry worldwide certifications (UN-38.3, IEC-62133, UL2054, CEC) and span voltage classes from 3.6V to 500V.

Akku Power operates a dual go-to-market model. For OEM and brand-company customers, it delivers end-to-end 360° battery system solutions covering consulting, R&D, prototyping, certification, logistics, after-sales service, and recycling — primarily through consultative direct sales via a website inquiry form. For end-customers and startups, it sells a standardized portfolio (marketed under the Galaxy sub-brand) and newly developed product innovations in e-mobility, home storage, and lifestyle applications. Distribution is anchored by four European locations: the German headquarters and production site, a Czech Republic production subsidiary (AKKU POWER S.R.O.), and sales offices in France and Italy, with global shipping supported by worldwide certifications.

The company serves at least nine verticals — Power Tools, Garden Tools, E-Mobility, Heavy Duty, Industrial, Robotics, Security, Healthcare, and Home Storage — with notable milestones including 300V Li-Ion high-voltage systems (2014), 5 kWh AGV batteries (2018), and a 500V battery platform for LEV and Heavy Duty applications (2024). With 200+ employees and no disclosed external funding, Akku Power operates as a self-financed German Mittelstand business.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Tesvolt: Wittenberg, Germany-based manufacturer of commercial and industrial battery storage systems. Overlaps with Akku Power's home-storage and industrial system offerings but specializes more in stationary commercial storage rather than portable/OEM packs.
• ADS-TEC Energy: German provider of battery-buffered energy storage and fast-charging solutions for industrial and commercial applications. Comparable in its industrial battery system focus and German engineering heritage, though more weighted toward stationary storage than portable OEM packs.
• EcoFlow: Fast-growing portable power station and home battery company with European presence. Compares through consumer-facing battery storage and portable power products, though operates via direct-to-consumer e-commerce model rather than Akku Power's OEM/consultative sales approach.

Broad incumbents

• BYD Company: Global battery and electric vehicle giant producing cells and packs at massive scale. While Akku Power does not directly compete in consumer scale, BYD's vertically integrated cell-to-pack approach defines the competitive backdrop for any European OEM battery pack supplier.
• VARTA AG: Large German battery manufacturer with significant presence in micro-batteries, lithium-ion cells, and energy storage. VARTA is a much larger incumbent operating across consumer and industrial segments with overlapping battery-pack expertise but at a different scale and capital-market profile.
• Sonnen (sonnen GmbH): Wildpoldsried, Germany-based home battery storage specialist (now part of Shell). Overlaps with Akku Power's home storage product line but focuses on residential energy storage rather than the broader OEM power-tools and e-mobility applications.
• FRIWO: German manufacturer of power supplies, chargers, and battery solutions for industrial and consumer applications. Comparable through its charger and switching power supply portfolio, which overlaps with Akku Power's Mainsconnector and charger product lines.

Direct peers

• BMZ Group: Karlstein am Main, Germany-based manufacturer of custom and standard lithium-ion battery packs for power tools, e-mobility, medical, and industrial OEMs. BMZ is Akku Power's closest direct competitor, offering very similar 360° OEM battery system solutions in Europe.
• EAS Batteries: German custom battery pack manufacturer producing Li-Ion, NiMH, and other chemistry packs for industrial, automotive, and military customers. EAS is directly comparable in its custom OEM pack model, German manufacturing base, and mid-sized European footprint.
• Custom Cells: Itzehoe, Germany-based specialist in customized battery cells and packs, serving OEM customers in medical, automotive, and industrial markets. Comparable to Akku Power as a custom battery system provider with strong in-house development capabilities.
