Gaussion, the London-based deep tech company pioneering energy intelligence technology for battery packs, has secured a $28m (£21.2m) investment round.
With much of the global battery industry focused on advances in cell chemistry, Gaussion says technologies extracting more from existing cells are attracting greater attention – particularly as AI infrastructure, electrified transport and autonomous systems place strain on power supply.
Gaussion’s technology uses an external magnetic field to enable rapid charging, improving the performance and lifespan of battery systems using proprietary, AI-enabled control software with no change to battery chemistry or design.
The technology works with any lithium-ion battery across a wide range of applications, from charging EVs and drones in minutes to powering data centres.
Gaussion works with vehicle, aerospace, energy storage and consumer electronics manufacturers and, in October 2025, moved to a 40,000 sq ft facility in London to create one of the largest battery R&D locations in Europe.
The funding round was co-led by BGF and AlbionVC, with follow-on participation from mobility specialist fund Autotech Ventures, UCL Technology Fund, DN Capital and Future Ventures.
“The race everyone’s watching is about computer chips – but the real prize is the battery,” says Tom Heenan, CEO and cofounder at Gaussion.
“The battery decides whether the giant computers behind AI can keep running, whether a drone can stay in the sky, and whether a satellite survives out in space. Every battery faces a physics ceiling, and we move that ceiling.”
