Greenwich, Conn. – October 07, 2026 -- Silver Point Capital's Direct Lending business has led a $650 million term loan financing to support Stryten Energy LLC's acquisition of C&D Technologies, Inc. and Trojan Battery Company, LLC, creating a combined battery manufacturing platform operating 18 facilities across the United States, Mexico and China.

Stryten completed the C&D Trojan acquisition on October 1, 2026

The deal brings together Stryten's existing energy storage business with C&D Technologies' stationary batteries, used in data center, telecom, utility and government standby power applications, and Trojan's specialty motive batteries, which power golf carts, low-speed electric vehicles, aerial lifts, floorcare machines, RVs and boats. Stryten is a portfolio company of Atlas Holdings, while C&D Trojan was previously owned by KPS Capital Partners.

Ann Arbor, Mich. – October 07, 2026 -- Volt Harbor, a software-defined energy startup based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, will exhibit its MAC-BESS platform at The Battery Show North America 2026 in Detroit, claiming the technology cuts battery energy storage project costs by roughly 40-50% while shrinking physical footprint by half.

The company will demonstrate the system at Booth #6212 from October 12-15 at Huntington Place, positioning MAC-BESS as a single battery-agnostic layer covering the entire front-end power stack from grid connection to data center load.

Hangzhou, China – September 30, 2026 -- Hoymiles Power Electronics has launched HoyUltra 2000M, a commercial and industrial energy storage system that cuts required on-site construction work from an estimated 46 hours to 10 hours.

Integrated design shrinks system footprint by 15%

HoyUltra 2000M combines battery, power conversion system (PCS), thermal management, static transfer switch and fire protection into a single unit. Compared with a conventional setup using 10 storage containers in parallel, Hoymiles states the integrated design reduces system footprint by approximately 15% and lowers the volume of external equipment and on-site wiring needed.

Kawanishi – September 28, 2026 -- Green Science Alliance has more than doubled the performance of its aqueous rechargeable aluminum-ion battery (AAIB) by swapping the cathode current collector for a commercially cheap conductive carbon rubber sheet, according to research led by Dr. Ryohei Mori.

Capacity climbs to 210 mAhg-1 from an earlier 103 mAhg-1 baseline

Under 0.025 C at room temperature, the redesigned AAIB delivered an initial capacity of at least 210 mAhg-1, sustained through at least 25 cycles in ongoing testing. The prior generation of the technology, detailed in Mori's 2025 review article in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Energy Advances (DOI: 10.1039/D5YA00148J), had capacity of roughly 103 mAhg-1 with poor cycle stability.

Budapest, Hungary – September 28, 2026 -- Hoymiles launched its HoyUltra 2000M full-scenario commercial and industrial (C&I) battery energy storage system (BESS) at the opening stop of its European C&I Energy Storage Roadshow, held in Budapest on September 24-25, 2026.

Hoymiles confirms more than 2 GWh of C&I storage capacity already operating worldwide

The HoyUltra 2000M platform spans small commercial installations to large-scale industrial deployments, positioning Hoymiles across the full range of C&I project sizes. Sixteen HoyUltra 2000M units are already running at a solar-plus-storage project in Hungary that roadshow participants toured on the second day.

Eindhoven, Netherlands – September 25, 2026 -- AlphaESS has launched AlphaQ, an AI-driven energy agent for home energy systems, in Europe for the first time, with partner events in Belgium on September 16 and the Netherlands on September 22.

AlphaQ consolidates energy insights, tariff management and service diagnostics into one interface

The system combines Q Insight, which interprets system performance data for homeowners, with AI Mode, which forecasts electricity prices, solar generation and household demand to optimise battery charging and discharging. The battery's energy plan updates every 15 minutes under dynamic tariff structures. On the service side, AlphaQ uses fault logs and live system data to help installers diagnose issues faster.

Xi'an, China – September 18, 2026 -- JDEnergy has signed a framework agreement with Spanish partner WDenergia targeting 200 MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) business in Spain, focused on commercial and industrial (C&I) projects.

JDEnergy and WDenergia agree to pursue 200 MWh of C&I storage capacity in Spain

The cooperation pairs JDEnergy's string PCS technology and international project track record with WDenergia's local development and EPC capabilities. The partnership was detailed during a joint webinar titled "Future-Ready Energy Storage: String PCS Architecture for Spain's Energy Transition," which brought together JDEnergy's technical and sales teams with WDenergia representatives.

Fremont, Calif. – September 15, 2026 -- DIMAAG-AI, Inc. and Toshiba International Corporation (TIC) have agreed to jointly develop energy storage systems for AI data centers, pairing Toshiba's SCiB lithium titanium oxide (LTO) battery cells with DIMAAG's ZettaWatt Power Platform.

Toshiba's SCiB cells bring a decade-long safety record to the partnership

Toshiba has shipped more than 100 million SCiB cells since 2010, and the batteries are engineered to sustain continuous 10C charge and discharge cycling over a targeted service life exceeding 10 years. Under the agreement, Toshiba will supply the high-power SCiB cells while DIMAAG designs, manufactures and integrates the battery system into its Zenius modules and ZettaWatt architecture.
