Battery Lifespan Extension Technology "Better.Re Solution"
First in the Industry to Win CES Innovation Award for Software Technology
LG Energy Solution's battery lifespan extension technology has received the "Innovation Award" at "CES 2026," the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition, held annually in Las Vegas, USA.
On November 5 (local time), LG Energy Solution announced that it had won the Innovation Award in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category at CES 2026, as selected by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). The CTA, which organizes CES, selects the most innovative products and services among the entries each year and presents the CES Innovation Awards ahead of the event's opening.
The winning entry is the "Better.Re Solution." This marks the first time a battery company has received a CES Innovation Award solely for software technology.
This solution is a battery lifespan extension technology developed based on LG Energy Solution's proprietary battery lifespan prediction algorithm, approximately 1.2 billion kilometers of real-world driving data, and various operational information such as charging and parking. It is characterized by its ability to slow battery degradation and predict abnormal phenomena in advance, thereby extending battery life by more than double.
LG Energy Solution's Better.Re Solution is divided into "customer-guided" and "control-based" approaches. The customer-guided approach provides customized lifespan management guides based on 16 user behavior factors that affect battery degradation, optimizing battery performance by improving driver habits and thereby slowing degradation. The results of the "Battery AI Degradation Analysis," which utilizes this technology, can be accessed in real time through mobile applications such as LG Energy Solution's battery management service "B-Lifecare," which provides daily, weekly, and monthly reports.
The control-based approach proactively manages batteries that are at risk of accelerated degradation. Applying this technology can extend the point at which battery life drops below 70% by up to twice as long, significantly reducing the number of replacements required and ensuring long-term stability for users. It can also be utilized in various "Battery as a Service (BaaS)" businesses, such as electric vehicle used-car transactions and battery swap station (BSS) operations.
Since 2009, LG Energy Solution has supplied over 8 billion battery cells to approximately 15 million electric vehicles, accumulating a vast amount of data. Through this, the company has secured industry-leading competitiveness in battery data and continues to conduct various research, including acquiring numerous patents related to the advancement of battery management systems (BMS).
Dalhoon Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of BMS Development Group at LG Energy Solution, stated, "Winning the CES Innovation Award is the result of our commitment and progress toward innovation in battery technology. We will continue to enhance customer value and strengthen our competitiveness in the BaaS business through long-life management technologies such as degradation prediction and safety diagnostics."
