BidItUp to Host Landmark 8-Day Auction of Production-Ready Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturing Assets from XALT Energy

MIDLAND, Mich. and AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BidItUp, a leading industrial asset auctioneer and industrial disposition partner, today announced a landmark 8-day online and live virtual auction featuring the manufacturing and R&D assets of XALT Energy, a U.S.-based lithium-ion battery manufacturer serving electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage system (ESS) markets.

Spanning two major Michigan facilities, the auction presents a rare opportunity to acquire late-model, production-proven battery manufacturing, automation, and laboratory systems—many available under power—allowing buyers to bypass long lead times, capital constraints, and global supply-chain delays associated with new equipment.

"This auction represents a unique convergence of scale, sophistication, and immediacy," said Tara Shaikh, CEO of BidItUp. "These are highly engineered systems that supported real-world battery production. For manufacturers, integrators, and technology-driven buyers, this offering provides a faster, more capital-efficient path to deploy or expand lithium-ion manufacturing capabilities."

The eight-day event includes assets from XALT Energy's 400,000-square-foot manufacturing campus in Midland, Michigan, as well as its R&D and prototype operations in Auburn Hills, encompassing the full lifecycle of lithium-ion battery development—from pilot and testing through high-volume production.
