Accure sparks $7.8M Series A2 to use AI to predict lithium-ion battery failures<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Battery fires are<\/span> bad. Just ask LG<\/a>, GM<\/a>, Tesla<\/a>, Volkswagen<\/a> or any of the hundreds of people whose e-bikes have caught fire<\/a>. While fires caused by EVs are a relative rarity compared with fossil fuel vehicles, that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re not dangerous.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s something that batteries have that fossil fuels don\u2019t: the ability to monitor themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery lithium-ion battery is an IoT device,\u201d Accure<\/a> co-founder and CEO Kai-Philipp Kairies told TechCrunch+. \u201cAll of these batteries are generating heaps of data.\u201d<\/p>\n

Batteries are going to be everywhere in the next couple decades, reshaping everything from cars and trucks to toys, home furnishings and more, all things that people interact with on a daily basis. The potential for fires could increase as adoption grows, but it doesn\u2019t have to. All that data that batteries are generating gives us a window into how they\u2019re operating. It also gives us a chance to predict when they\u2019ll go haywire.<\/p>\n

Kairies and his co-founders started Accure with an eye toward minimizing battery fires, taking problematic cells out of service before they pose a hazard. The team creates a digital twin of the batteries it monitors, starting with models based on the physical properties of the specific chemistry and construction and blending in artificial intelligence to aid in predictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re using the sensors and we\u2019re dissecting the signals into what are the underlying properties causing the signals. Then we use prediction mechanisms for the underlying behaviors. And from there, we can use a model again to say, what is this leading toward?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as I know, we\u2019re the only company that has consistently been able to correctly predict thermal runaway in a battery days and weeks before it happens,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can guarantee 100%. That\u2019s just not possible. But we can substantially reduce the fire risk of a battery.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company announced Tuesday that it has raised 7.2 million euros in a Series A2 led by Blue Bear Capital and HSBC Asset Management with participation from Riverstone Holdings and Capnamic Ventures.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
