Founded in Michigan with garage prototypes and a clear application problem to solve
Who we are
Application-specific energy storage, built around customer-supplied cells
Prime Energy engineers, tests, and contract-assembles modules, packs, and ancillary energy-storage systems around customer-supplied, sealed cells. We do not manufacture cells or modify internal battery chemistry.
From first-article packs to repeatable contract assembly, the work stays in modules, packs, and ancillary systems—packaging, interconnects, thermal strategy, testing, and process control.

2021
1400 Allen Drive
Moved to 1400 Allen Drive in Troy—the current home for engineering, testing, and small-batch contract assembly.
2019
Top Company to Watch
Honored at the Breslin Center at Michigan State University. The Michigan SBDC cited engineering behind the Modular Energy Cube, a scalable business plan, and the 2018 facility expansion.
“This award is such an honor because we know we are on the right path.”
2018
First Troy location
Opened the first Troy facility at 1414 Combermere Drive for engineering, testing, and small-batch contract assembly—later cited in statewide recognition as a mark of a scalable operating plan.
2016
Oakland University incubator
Incubator support helped move prototypes toward patents, lab work, and a more formal engineering operation around the Modular Energy Cube.
2015
Garage beginnings
Prime Energy started with late-night prototypes—working around the limits of off-the-shelf battery systems rather than treating them as finished products.
