Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ACDC) — Review & Analysis
ACDC tracks the Solactive Battery Value-Chain Index — a basket of global companies developing electro-chemical battery storage technology and lithium mining companies producing battery-grade lithium. The fund's 0.69% p.a. fee sits alongside other Global X thematics. Compare ACDC across the battery and critical minerals universe on our critical minerals ETF page and the commodities and resources ETF page.
ACDC differs from pure lithium funds like VOLT by including battery technology companies on top of lithium miners — names involved in cell manufacturing, battery materials and energy storage technology rather than just upstream mining.
The broader exposure spreads risk across the battery value chain but dilutes the pure lithium-price beta. For investors focused on the EV and grid storage thesis broadly rather than just lithium supply, ACDC offers a more diversified single-ticker option than VOLT or ATOM.
ACDC is unhedged. The thesis is long-duration — EV adoption, grid storage build-out and consumer electronics demand — but the path has been volatile, with lithium prices crashing from 2022 highs before stabilising. Our every theme ETF on the ASX guide covers how battery and lithium themes sit alongside other thematics.
