Rethink Battery Architecture

Nubacell develops cell-level switching electronics that enable batteries to dynamically reconfigure during operation.

01 / Conventional architecture

Why conventional battery architecture is no longer enough

Cells age differently

Their characteristics become different over time.

Healthy capacity remains unused

Energy still available in other cells cannot be fully utilised.

The economics have changed

Batteries are now larger, more widespread and more valuable. Better utilisation now creates a strong economic case for cell-level control.

Conventional battery · Fixed series connection

The weakest cell stops the whole battery.Capacity remaining in other cells cannot be used.

02 / Nubacell reconfigurable architecture

How the technology works

Nubacell changes the fixed battery architecture by adding continuous, automatic control at cell level.

  1. MonitorThe condition of every cell is monitored individually.
  2. SwitchIndividual cells are automatically connected or bypassed.
  3. ReconfigureThe battery adapts its configuration and output parameters during operation.
Stronger cells work more. Weaker cells work less.Energy is drawn from each cell according to its condition, so the cells reach their discharge limits together and more of the battery’s available capacity can be used.

04 / Evidence

Proven beyond simulation.

From patented architecture to high-current validation with physical cells.
