ConnectM Technology Solutions has announced the acquisition of Amperics, a developer of hybrid battery-supercapacitor technology. Amperics’ proprietary titanium dioxide (TiO₂)-based platform combines the high power output and long cycle life of supercapacitors with the energy density of lithium-ion cells. ConnectM reports that this technology delivers fast charge times, decades-long cycles, and enhanced safety for applications including grid stabilization, data center energy buffering, and electric fleet charging.
Amperics will be integrated as a product line under Keen Labs, the artificial intelligence (AI) and technology subsidiary of ConnectM. Keen Labs’ existing offerings include AI-powered heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) controls, Industrial Internet of Things modules, smart mobility and last-mile logistics software, and distributed energy management platforms.
ConnectM states that the hybrid batteries’ capacity to handle large power spikes in real time supports high-frequency computing use cases. This positions the technology for deployment in data centers where it can address computing surges, support renewable integration, and improve uptime and overall energy efficiency. The company intends to integrate Amperics’ platform into its Energy Intelligence Network software for coordinated management and monetization of distributed storage assets in residential, commercial, fleet, and hyperscale data center environments.
In a statement on the technical strategy, Bhaskar Panigrahi, CEO and Chairman of ConnectM, said, “We are now not only electrifying homes and fleets, but also powering the infrastructure that runs the world’s data and AI workloads.” He continued, “Through Keen Labs, Amperics’ technology becomes the backbone of our next-generation VPP and energy-intelligence stack — turning every distributed battery, whether in a home, truck depot, or data center, into a dynamic, revenue-generating asset that supports a more resilient, intelligent grid.”
ConnectM notes that Amperics’ TiO₂-based batteries avoid rare or toxic metals and can be produced using roll-to-roll manufacturing, supporting scalability and cost efficiency. The company is pursuing an energy-as-a-service business model to deploy these high-performance assets, enabling recurring revenue streams from digital power plants that respond to real-time grid or data center demands.
