Sention Technologies, a company that provides battery quality monitoring solutions, has secured £3.7 million (~$5 million) in seed funding.
Twin Path Ventures led the funding round, which was joined by Doral Energy-Tech Ventures, Endgame Capital, Energy Revolution Ventures, G.K. Goh Ventures, Green Angel Ventures, Third Sphere, and the UK Innovation and Science Seed Fund.
“Their technology uses the power of machine learning to predict how batteries perform, age, and fail. As an AI specialist fund, we are excited by the tremendous potential that AI has to shape the battery industry,” said John Spindler of Twin Path Ventures.
The company, with its proprietary ultrasound measurement solution Senturion, offers real-time, non-invasive 3D scanning of the internal structure of batteries to inspect every battery cell, whether during end-of-line quality control, delivery to OEMs, or at the beginning of its second life in a Battery Energy Storage System.
With this funding, the company plans to accelerate the commercialization of its Senturion and AI-driven data fusion software, Sentinel. Additionally, Sention plans to invest in R&D for its next-generation product, Sentry, which is designed to integrate directly into production lines.
“This funding represents a significant milestone for Sention as we continue to innovate at the forefront of battery diagnostics. We are grateful to our investors for supporting our mission to enable the electrochemical power revolution by enhancing the performance, quality, and safety of batteries,” said Dan Brett, CEO of Sention.
According to Mercom’s recently released Q1 2025 Funding and M&A Report for Energy Storage, VC funding in the sector fell 8% year over year, with $1.1 billion raised in 18 deals, down from $1.2 billion raised in 23 deals during the same quarter last year.
In 2024, Glimpse, a provider of battery quality monitoring solutions for battery producers and electric mobility companies, raised $4 million in a seed funding round from venture capital firms Ibex Mobility and Flybridge Capital Partners and a syndicate of battery and EV angel investors.
