History

Ampd Energy was founded in December 2014. Its founder, Brandon Ng created an electric motorcycle company during a blackout in the city; he reasoned that the batteries of the motorcycles could be redesigned to power buildings. [3]

In February 2015, Ampd Energy was accepted into the Incu-Tech program. As of June 2017, the company has raised a total of $3.7 million in seed investment. [4] [ needs update ]

Product

In December 2016, the company launched an energy storage system called Ampd Enertainer, which aims to replace lead acid battery, Uninterruptible Power Supply systems (UPSs) and diesel generators [5] [6] primarily in countries affected by frequent blackouts.

Unlike many related companies such as Tesla and Sonnen, Ampd Enertainer is primarily aimed at on-grid energy storage. [7]

Ampd Enertainer uses 1,792 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries cells, with each Ampd Silo having a storage capacity of 16.8 kWh. [8]

Awards and recognition

In early 2017, Ampd Enertainer received the CES2017 Innovation Award Honoree in the "Tech For a Better World" category. [9] The company was also shortlisted as one of the finalists in Engadgets best CES 2017 in the start-up category. [10]

In May 2017, co-founder and CEO Brandon Ng was named as a Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 honouree in the "Industry, Manufacturing & Energy" category. [11]
