Electric vehicles, micromobility, power tools, energy storage systems, and recycling are some of its use cases. In order to save money and help the planet, a Machine-as-a-Service solution upcycles spent batteries rather than recycling them.

Antoine Welter, CEO and co-founder of Circu Li-ion said, "We're happy to double down on our development speed, turning this fresh funding into smarter, data-focused solutions that make battery recycling economically and ecologically viable for everyone. For this, the key is a great team – we will further invest in our team and double our size of currently 34 colleagues within the next twelve months."

Nikolaj Klebert, investment manager at BonVenture said, "Since the first contact with the outstanding team, we have been enthusiastic about the highly dynamic environment of battery up- and recycling in which they have occupied the field very early and taken a dominant role".

Circu Li-Ion, a highly technological and very creative solution, halts the present degradation of value, releasing previously unused potential down to the level of the individual cell. In addition, Circu Li-ion intends to boost the size of its Berlin satellite office and add 2,000 m2 to its main manufacturing facility near Karlsruhe, Germany.
