LG Energy Solution announced on November 10, 2026, that its Re.Pulse software-based state-of-health diagnostic solution for used batteries was named an honoree in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category at the CES Innovation Awards 2027. The system is designed to evaluate batteries that remain in service or have been removed.
Re.Pulse applies current pulses and analyzes the resulting voltage response to estimate battery condition. According to the company, it completes the assessment in under 10 minutes, compared with more than seven hours for conventional testing that requires a full discharge-recharge-discharge cycle. The software also evaluates state of health at the cell level rather than relying only on pack-level monitoring, allowing it to identify localized degradation.
LG Energy Solution said the more detailed results can support targeted repair or replacement of specific units and reduce the premature disposal of usable batteries. Based on the diagnosis, batteries can be directed toward reuse, remanufacturing, or recycling. The company said this approach could also reduce carbon emissions associated with manufacturing replacement batteries.
The software can integrate with standard battery capacity testers and electric vehicle chargers without additional dedicated hardware. Potential deployments include EV maintenance and inspection centers, fleet operations, used-battery energy storage projects, and used-vehicle sales and evaluation platforms. Results are planned for delivery through formats including web and mobile applications to help users determine battery state of health and select a pathway for each battery.
LG Energy Solution plans to continue developing battery lifecycle management technologies and its Battery-as-a-Service capabilities across diagnostics, management, and second-life applications. The company said accurate assessment after a battery’s first use is becoming more important as electrification expands. The award program notes that entries are judged on submitted materials and that claims are not independently verified or tested.
