Exponential Power
The enterprise traces its lineage to 1915, but its current form emerged through a decade of roll-ups: Storage Battery Systems and Summit Power Systems merged in 2014, Nolan Power joined in 2018, and Quality Standby Services followed in 2019. Ten legacy companies — including Static Power, Dry Creek Critical Battery Solutions, and DC Kilowatts — now operate as Exponential Power, a single platform headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The combined entity sells, installs, and maintains battery systems, emphasizing the technician workforce that services the installed base. Exponential Power addresses stationary reserve power, motive power for forklifts, and battery test equipment across manufacturing, telecommunications, utilities, and data centers. The firm functions as an integrator and distributor, not a fund; it sources from manufacturers such as EnerSys, Chloride, and HindlePower. Its most distinct deployment pattern is the dual coverage of legacy flooded lead-acid service contracts and newer lithium-ion charging infrastructure — a posture described in firm white papers addressing lithium charging gaps and thin-plate pure-lead alternatives for edge data centers operating at 110°F. In 2024, the firm promoted Rocky Colombo to SVP of Industrial Sales and Data Centers, consolidating segment leadership under a single executive. In late 2024 and early 2025, Exponential Power signaled a data-center pivot by hiring Sal Accardo as a senior vice president and Kristin Anderson as VP of the Data Center division. The firm runs a 24/7 emergency-assistance line (1-866-793-4300) and maintains its own safety doctrine — the “5 To Stay Alive” program — focused on arc-flash and electrical hazards. No disclosed institutional investor backing, spin-off, or philanthropic foundation appears in public records. Exponential Power differs from pure-play battery manufacturers or project-finance investors by operating as an asset-light installed-base servicer. Its structural model ties revenue to long-term maintenance and replacement cycles on stationary and motive-power batteries, giving it recurring revenue streams across industrial sites, colocation data centers, and carrier telecom infrastructure without owning the underlying real estate or generation assets.

Frequently asked questions
What does Exponential Power actually do?
It is an industrial-services and distribution company focused on stored-power systems — stationary backup batteries, motive-power batteries for forklifts, and battery test equipment. The firm designs, installs, and maintains these systems for data centers, telecom operators, utilities, manufacturers, and material-handling warehouses. It sources hardware from OEMs including EnerSys, Chloride, and HindlePower.
How did Exponential Power reach its current form?
Through a series of acquisitions beginning in 2014 with the merger of Storage Battery Systems and Summit Power Systems. Nolan Power was added in 2018 and Quality Standby Services in 2019, along with several smaller regional service groups. The ten legacy companies were united under the Exponential Power brand to create a single national service platform.
What battery chemistries does the firm support in the field?
The fleet spans both flooded lead-acid and lithium-ion. Exponential Power's own technical papers compare thin-plate pure-lead, lithium and traditional VRLA for edge data centers and address the lithium charging infrastructure gap in forklift applications. Technicians maintain legacy lead-acid strings while installing newer lithium cabinets across their customer base.
Does Exponential Power operate as a family office or investment fund?
No. Exponential Power is an operating company that sells and services battery systems. It does not report assets under management, does not describe itself as a family office, and has not disclosed institutional investor backing or a general-partner structure.
What industries does Exponential Power serve most actively?
Data centers, telecommunications, and motive power/forklift operations are the most emphasized end markets in current firm materials. The firm also serves electric utilities, offshore energy, and general manufacturing. Its hiring in 2024–2025 specifically targets data-center expertise.
