Problem
Traditional battery energy storage systems face limitations in lifespan, performance, and cost-effectiveness due to inefficient battery management and reliance on bulky external inverters. These inefficiencies lead to reduced system throughput, shorter lifecycles, and higher upfront and operating costs for energy storage asset owners.
Solution
Relectrify addresses these challenges with CellSwitch™, an integrated battery power electronics system that replaces both the Battery Management System (BMS) and the bi-directional inverter in conventional battery storage systems. CellSwitch™ enables cell-level control, optimizing battery performance and extending lifespan. By integrating battery management and inverter functions at the cell level, the technology increases system throughput and energy density while improving safety through individual cell monitoring and control. Relectrify offers CellSwitch™ technology in its own products and also sells modules and electronics to manufacturers of energy storage solutions.
Target Audience
Relectrify's primary customers include energy storage asset owners, utilities, commercial and industrial businesses, and manufacturers of energy storage solutions seeking to improve the performance, lifespan, and cost-effectiveness of their battery systems.
