BraapZap, based in Farmington, Utah, specializes in rebuilding and revitalizing lithium battery packs for electric bicycles (eBikes) and electric powersports vehicles, including off-road electric motorcycles and emotos. The company’s core mission centers on restoring battery performance to ensure riders can continue using their electric vehicles, preventing them from becoming unusable due to degraded batteries. BraapZap practices environmentally sustainable methods by refurbishing existing battery packs rather than replacing them. This approach reduces electronic waste and promotes resource efficiency within the electric vehicle industry. By focusing on extending the life of current battery technology, BraapZap supports both the economic interests of riders and global sustainability efforts.
Battery Technology
BraapZap’s services prioritize detailed processes for battery pack rebuilding. This involves disassembling existing packs to diagnose and identify underperforming cells. They then replace worn cells with new, top-quality lithium cells from manufacturers like LG, Samsung, and Panasonic, restoring original battery capacity. The assembly process integrates these new cells into the existing battery pack using premium materials and current industry best practices. Electrical interconnections are made with laser-cut pure nickel strips and plates, spot-welded with American-made capacitive discharge welders for strong and safe bonds.
A critical aspect of BraapZap’s method is the integration of Battery Management Systems (BMS) to monitor charge/discharge cycles, temperature, and current, ensuring battery safety and longevity. They also conduct micro-balancing of cells, achieving balance within 0.001 volts for optimal performance. Rigorous testing, including multiple charge-discharge cycles and load testing, verifies that rebuilt packs meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. This commitment to detailed technical processes ensures that refurbished batteries deliver reliable performance for eBike and electric powersports riders.
