The problem

Millions of good batteries, locked out of a second life.

Most retired EV packs are recycled despite years of usable life. Energy storage stays too expensive for most businesses, because today's reuse methods don't scale.

Battery reach	Any pack, but at high effort	Limited to specific models and OEM cooperation	Any brand, no manufacturer data needed
Cost	Labour-intensive; can exceed the battery's value in high-wage countries	Depends on OEM partnership terms	Low: no rebuild, no new enclosure
Aged cells	New enclosure and HV electronics added	Software not designed for aged batteries	Controls and AI built for second-life cells

The solution

Two ways to reuse a whole pack.

The pack, its modules and its high-voltage housing always stay intact. We keep the original Battery Management System when we can, and replace it with our own when we cannot.

Variant A

Original BMS retained

When the pack's own BMS is accessible and suitable, we keep it and connect the pack to our controls and energy management.

Variant B

Bx proprietary BMS

When the original BMS is locked or unsuitable, we replace it with our OEM-agnostic BMS through a new harness. No manufacturer data needed.

Both variants

Connected to the grid

The pack links to a bidirectional inverter and becomes modular, retrofit-ready energy storage.
