Since 1909 Leclanché has been a reliable partner for battery storage technologies. Founded in the tradition of Georges Leclanché, the inventor of the dry cell battery, Leclanché has apart from customer-specific battery systems also modern lithium-ion solutions as well as established storage technologies in its portfolio today. Through the integration of a spin-off of the German Fraunhofer Institute in 2006 the company evolved from a traditional battery producer into one of the first developers and manufacturers of lithium-ion cells in Europe. Leclanché develops and produces among others energy storage systems with large format lithium-ion cells. These are characterised by a very high cycle stability (cells with titanate anode) and long service life. Thanks to our patented separator technology, which is the core element of lithium ion cells with titanate anode, Leclanché is able to make cells with very good safety characteristics in automated production. Leclanché operates a fully automated pilot plant for the production of large format lithium-ion cells at an annual maximum capacity of up to 4 MWh. In July 2012, the commissioning of a new production line increased production capacity to an annual, theoretically achievable capacity of up to one million cells or 76 MWh (based on titanate technology). In addition, Leclanché offers a number of other batteries and storage systems, such as portable customer-specific energy storage systems, trade with primary and secondary batteries of other producers and accessories. The core markets of the company are industries that have high requirements for efficiency, service life, robustness and safety of energy storage systems, such as energy storage systems for better utilisation of power grids, for military and medical applications.
