LG Energy Solution’s Battery-Life Solution Receives CES 2026 Innovation Award

[INQ. NO. 2511M03] LG Energy Solution announced today that its integrated battery life management solution, Better.Re, has been named an honoree in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category at the upcoming CES 2026 Innovation Awards. This marks the first time a battery company has earned this recognition purely through software technology.
Designed to maximize battery lifecycle and lower repair and replacement costs, the solution is expected to almost double the lifespan of mobility batteries.
Better.Re collects data on users’ driving, charging, and parking habits, assesses battery management against 16 key battery-aging factors, and provides personalized behavioral guidance via a dedicated app. The app’s user-friendly interface uses clear visual indicators to make battery health easier to understand, enabling more informed decisions. In addition, a reward system and certification program encourage continued use. Internal analysis suggests the solution could double the duration that an EV battery’s State of Health Capacity (SOHC), or the proportion of total expected life, is maintained at 98%, from 1.5 years to 3 years.
In certain controllable environments, such as Battery Swapping Stations (BSS), Better.Re applies proactive charging control when anomalies are predicted, in order to prevent battery degradation. According to LG Energy Solution’s internal analysis, the technology is expected to double the time from 5 years to 10 years before the SOHC of electric two-wheeler batteries drops below 70%.
As electrification expands, predicting and optimizing battery life is becoming increasingly critical, driving growth in the Battery as a Service (BaaS) market, which focuses on battery utilization across the entire product lifecycle. Better.Re provides machine learning-based prediction, anomaly detection, and safety control, establishing a cornerstone for BaaS business models — including warranty, insurance, swapping, leasing, and resale.
“This CES Innovation Award is a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation,” explained Dal Hoon Lee, BMS R&D Group Leader at LG Energy Solution, adding, “We will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of our BaaS business with advanced technologies that effectively conduct safety diagnosis and manage battery degradation, further cementing our foothold in the energy industry.”
