Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Diagnostics and ReBalancing Technology
LIBRT is a Vancouver-based development stage technology company, at the forefront of the electric vehicle (EV) industry, developing innovative technologies to diagnose and extend the health and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. It is estimated that nearly 40 million EVs, Plug-in Hybrid EVs, and Hybrid-EVs currently on the road around the world are anticipated to exceed their warranties by 2031, leaving EV owners susceptible to degrading batteries. LIBRT’s proprietary technology assesses and extends electric vehicle battery lifespan thereby contributing to the sustainability of electric transportation and contributing to a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly EV ownership experience, mitigating EV owner’s requirement to replace their battery. LIBRT has successfully developed a functioning prototype and is working to complete a commercial-scale product.
about librt
LIBRT’s core technology, validated by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), focuses on two key aspects: battery health diagnostics and battery cell rebalancing, mitigating the degradation of effective capacity in battery packs and addressing imbalance within battery cells to enhance battery longevity. Additionally, LIBRT holds the exclusive license for BatteryMap AI in North America, an AI model boasting a portfolio of 21 patents for precise battery monitoring and prediction, extensively trained on vast amounts of real-world data. Initially applied in repurposed lithium-ion batteries for secondary Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), utilizing its proactive prevention of battery cell failure, BatteryMap offers advanced safety features, efficient predictive maintenance, and cost savings via 24/7 system monitoring. Key features include 99%+ State of Health accuracy, three-month early detection of thermal runaway, and remote rebalancing boosting lithium-ion battery effective capacity. Future plans include further development of the AI model and leveraging BatteryMap in EV battery services, further enhancing their performance and safety.
LIBRT has pioneered a proprietary solution for lithium-ion battery diagnostics and rebalancing. This innovative system incorporates proprietary hardware and software, streamlining the evaluation of a battery's state of health (SOH) and state of charge (SOC). It achieves this through battery health diagnostics and rebalancing, all without requiring the disassembly of battery packs beforehand.
Furthermore, this machine significantly outpaces the industry standard, measuring the remaining capacity of a battery pack 5X faster. It is capable of restoring 99% of the capacity lost due to cell imbalance.
