Leclanché is a company that makes batteries. It took over the name of the Leclanché cell company when it was created in 1909.
Through a licensed ceramic separator technology and focus on lithium titanate technology, Leclanché manufactures large-format lithium-ion cells. At the end of the second quarter 2012, Leclanché started operations of its first production line with an installed annual capacity of up to 76 MWh in lithium titanate cells.
Leclanché was founded in 1909 in Yverdon-les-Bains. Through the integration of a spin-off from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in 2006, the company evolved from a traditional battery manufacturer to become a developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion cells. Leclanché employs 120 staff and is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (LECN). The company has its headquarters in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland and production facilities in Willstätt, Germany.
In 2017, the company announced a trial to install energy storage batteries at sites owned by Dutch charging station operator Fastned.[3]
