Onto Technology, LLC received a $3.57 million Cooperative Agreement award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E, CFDA 81.135) on June 11, 2026, for the project "Rejuvenation to Increase the Lifetime of Advanced Batteries." The award will support research and development activities through June 10, 2029, conducted at the company's facility in Bend, Oregon. Under this ARPA-E CIRCULAR initiative, Onto Technology will develop in-situ treatment approaches designed to double the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) through electrolyte replacement methodologies. The project aims to establish electrolyte replacement as a standardized maintenance service for advanced batteries, analogous to oil changes for internal combustion engines, thereby extending battery operational lifetime and reducing overall energy storage costs. This award supports ARPA-E's mission to fund transformative energy technologies at the pre-commercial stage that address climate change mitigation and energy security objectives. As a woman-owned small business with established expertise in advanced battery technology, critical materials research, and battery recycling, Onto Technology is well-positioned to deliver innovative solutions in energy storage optimization. The cooperative agreement mechanism enables collaborative engagement between the federal agency and the awardee to advance high-impact battery rejuvenation technologies that would otherwise be too early for private-sector investment.Summary of Federal Cooperative Agreement Award
