I'm confused why your value proposition is that you can replace individual cells but your website also says it's recommended to replace all cells at once. Isn't that the same as the current situation where we have to buy a new battery assembly rather than replace the failed cells? > When an E-bike battery fails, 90% of the time, its just 1 or 2 cells that are dead inside or a single electronic component. But since tr…
Thanks for your message! So the value prop are multiple things: - you can indeed change the cells! When the industry matures, we might have a "second-life cell cycling" path where old cells are re-tested and matched so you could switch individual cells, but for now, as those "matched cells" aren't widely available we recommend you switch everything to new cells (this would cost an end-user about $50 rather than buyin…
You're going from when one cell fails, change the entire battery assembly, including any management electronics, case etc
To
When one cell fails, just get a fresh set of cells, at a fraction of the cost of a new battery assembly.
In the future, you also expect working cells to be circulated back into second-life use. Your casing makes this much more likely.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
