About Vaulta

Brisbane Battery Engineering, Sourcing, and Lifecycle Monitoring

Meet the Brisbane team behind Vaulta. Founded in 2020, Vaulta designs, sources, and monitors battery energy storage systems for commercial, industrial, and residential applications across Australia, backed by the award-winning, patented Vaulta Inside platform.

Engineering Better Batteries, From the Ground Up

Brisbane-based Vaulta was founded in 2020 to fix a problem most of the industry ignores: batteries that can't be repaired, can't be monitored, and end up in landfill long before they should. Our award-winning Vaulta Inside platform uses a patented, single-component architecture that makes every part individually repairable and recyclable. We design custom systems, source and validate trusted imported products through Vaulta Select, and monitor every system we supply through PlainView, our proprietary battery intelligence platform. Six years in. Over 100 systems in the field. Engineered, supported, and accountable, end to end.

This pulls in the founding year, the patent and award claims, the platform names (Select, PlainView, Vaulta Inside), and the stats from the homepage, so the two pages now tell the same story instead of two different ones.
