Brisbane-based company Vaulta aims to revolutionize the battery enclosure market.
Vaulta offers a unique battery enclosure that can be easily disassembled without special tools or expertise.
This feature enables repairability and improved recyclability of batteries, such as lithium batteries.
The ability to access individual battery cells allows for targeted repairs, reducing the need to replace the entire battery unit.
Traditional battery packs are not designed for disassembly, resulting in higher costs for handling and disposal of failed batteries.
By facilitating easy disassembly, Vaulta’s battery enclosure promotes a more circular economy.
Battery vendors have shown interest in Vaulta’s approach, although negotiations are confidential.
Vaulta also manufactures complete batteries, including a 48V, 14.36kWh unit with a warranty of 3000 cycles (equivalent to 43MWh delivered).
Making batteries repairable contributes to the warranty considerations and pricing model of Vaulta’s products.
Vaulta aims to enable local licensed electricians to repair their batteries, making it particularly beneficial for remote locations and regions transitioning to renewables.
