At the Avocet Research Centre (ARC), innovation is more than a buzzword. It’s built into everything we do. From early-stage concept testing to prototype development and performance validation, we exist to accelerate battery technology where it counts most: in the real world.
Our Purpose
The global energy transition is picking up pace, but turning big ideas into viable products takes more than vision. It takes precision, adaptability, and the right research partner. That’s where ARC comes in.
We work at the intersection of science, manufacturing, and commercial strategy to support the development of battery components that are lighter, safer, more efficient, and easier to scale. Every material we test, every method we refine, and every prototype we build moves our partners closer to market.
What We Do
The Avocet Research Centre (ARC) provides:
- Application-specific material testing – to help identify performance opportunities and risks early
- Rapid prototyping – for tabs, foils, and coatings across battery chemistries
- Collaborative research projects – co-developed with partners from concept to scale
- Support for sustainability goals – by identifying alternative materials and reducing environmental impact
Our aim is simple: deliver insights that lead to better decisions, faster development, and more competitive products.
Why Collaboration Matters
We’re not a test house. We’re a partner in your development journey.
Our most successful projects are built on collaboration, whether that’s working closely with material suppliers, cell developers, or manufacturers bringing a new battery product to market. With open communication and shared objectives, we help drive focused, results-oriented innovation.
