Do more today with the combined power of sustainability & performance
Aceleron’s partnership with Total Access to Energy Solutions (Tates) to expand clean energy accessibility and tackle unsustainable battery waste in Kenya.
Engineering news (article by Marleny Arnoldi) talks about Aceleron’s partnership with Total Access to Energy Solutions (Tates) to expand clean energy accessibility and tackle unsustainable battery waste in Kenya by repurposing old battery packs.
This will be done by converting “Tates and its partners’ waste lithium-ion battery cells into repairable, upgradable and affordable long-cycle reusable battery packs to bring cleaner power to more than 800 people in off-grid communities across Kenya and its neighbours – Benin, Rwanda and Libya.”
A major motivation for Aceleron’s founders, Dr Amrit Chandan and Carlton Cummins, is to make batteries more sustainable and tackle the growing mountain of battery waste in Kenya and across the world. Less than 5% of lithium-ion batteries are recycled and the world is expected to generate two-million tonnes of waste batteries every year by 2030.

Aceleron’s technical team offer some helpful tips on the best way to store a leisure battery in order to maximise its life expectancy and guarantee peak performance for years to come.
Aceleron, which has designed and built the only battery energy storage system (BESS) that can be taken apart for repair, replacement and upgrade, has partnered with Nuenta, one of the largest distributors of renewable and environmental supplies in the UK.
Aceleron’s uniquely serviceable, repairable and upgradeable LFP battery, the Essential has been recognised for its environmental design by the international DAME design awards committee, which celebrates everything that is important about marine equipment design.
