Astute Group is now an authorised distribution partner for EDEA Energy, an Australian company pioneering advanced lithium-ion energy storage systems for defence, humanitarian, and critical infrastructure applications. The partnership expands Astute’s power solutions portfolio with sovereign, cybersecure, and ruggedised energy platforms designed to perform under the harshest conditions – from battlefield deployments to disaster relief and off-grid infrastructure.
The technological foundation of EDEA Energy’s products is built on proven Li-ion cell chemistries from trusted partners in Australia, Japan, and South Korea – reducing geopolitical supply chain risk while ensuring high performance and long-term reliability. At the forefront of this innovation is the super6T™ Li-ion battery, featuring world-first proprietary thermal management and market-leading ruggedisation. Engineered for NATO and allied defence forces, the super6T™ sets a new global benchmark for safe, durable, and sovereign energy storage and available in two variants: LiFePo4, super6T[e], for high energy applications such as Silent Watch; and, Lithium Titanate super6T[p], when high power and ultra rapid recharging is required.
“EDEA’s world-first super6T battery and advanced energy systems represent a major leap forward in secure, deployable power technology,” says Rich Ford, Technical BDM, Power Solutions at Astute Group, continuing, “For engineers operating in defence, humanitarian, or remote infrastructure environments, EDEA provides an unparalleled combination of energy density, resilience, and traceable supply. Their focus on sovereign capability and proven global supply partners ensures customers can design for reliability without compromise.”
EDEA Energy’s commitment to innovation is further demonstrated through its successful export of the super6T Li-ion batteries to a U.S. defence client, as well as ongoing R&D in naval energy storage systems (ESS) and real-world testing of printed photovoltaic (PV) technology. These initiatives reflect the company’s holistic approach to energy resilience – delivering scalable, distributed, and cybersecure power solutions from soldier to base, village to region.
“As an Australian developer and manufacturer of advanced energy storage systems, we are proud to partner with Astute Group,” says Mark Tipping, Co-Founder and Group Managing Director at EDEA Energy, adding, “Together we can deliver sovereign, world-leading power solutions to customers who demand reliability and endurance in every mission. From tactical defence applications to humanitarian energy systems, our technology is designed to defend, empower, and endure.”
Becoming an authorised distributor for EDEA Energy reinforces Astute Group’s position as a trusted partner for next-generation energy and power solutions – supporting engineers with innovative, field-proven technologies built to meet the most demanding global challenges.
