Company history
Ecoult was originally formed in 2007 by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). CSIRO invented the UltraBattery, a hybrid ultracapacitor and lead-acid battery technology, and formed a subsidiary company, Ecoult, to commercialize the technology.[1]
In May 2010, East Penn Manufacturing acquired Ecoult from CSIRO, along with the global license to manufacture the UltraBattery (outside Japan and Thailand where Furukawa Battery holds the head license).[2]
Ecoult was named in the Cleantech Group's 2013 Global Cleantech 100 in 2013.[3]
In July 2020, East Penn Manufacturing announced that it was winding down its investment in Ecoult.[4] In January 2021 the ecoult.com website announced that Ecoult has ceased operations.[5]
