About

Our study on hundreds of small scale lithium-batteries showed us that 80% of the lithium-ion cells are actually discarded while they are perfectly functional. This waste is due to the fact current lithium-ion batteries cannot be repaired due to their fabrication process. We designed and patented a battery with no soldering, no paste and no wires, which makes it easy and convenient to service and repair in a few minutes. The consequences are : - an increased lifetime, and thus a reduced cost of operation for the user - a reduced ecological impact as individual lithium-cells can be changed throughout the battery life (about 70% less carbon emission) - a much improved battery, with electronics offering new functionalities like bluetooth connectivity, data collection, long-life mode, etc, that would have been too expensive for current disposable batteries
