How hard can it possibly be to sell a used #EV? For David Tracy, selling his Nissan Leaf is proving nearly impossible. Secondhand electric vehicles are struggling to gain traction due to concerns about battery degradation, limiting their range and resale value. In David’s case, his 2011 Nissan Leaf is sporting a mere 25-mile battery range. The root of the problem isn’t new: as batteries age, they lose their ability to charge effectively, and past a certain point are rendered virtually useless. This, coupled with the high upfront cost of new EVs, creates a significant barrier to widespread adoption. It makes perfect sense... why would I spend more money on an EV vs a standard ICE vehicle, only to have to replace the expensive battery to have any hope of resale? At Iontra, we're on a mission to change that. Our innovative charging technologies are designed to dramatically slow down battery degradation, extending the life of your EV's battery and preserving its value. This means extending the battery’s usable life, better chances of resale, cheaper new EVs and a more sustainable future for everyone. By optimizing charging cycles and preventing harmful battery stresses, we're making EVs more affordable and accessible. Our technology empowers #EVOEMs to offer vehicles with smaller, more cost-effective batteries without sacrificing range, while also stimulating the used EV market. We're excited to be at the forefront of this revolution, working towards a world where EVs are a viable option for all drivers and businesses. Join us in building a cleaner, greener future!

If you’ve ever googled “why is my battery charging so slow?” you’ll likely come across the same set of answers: ⚡Check if your charging cable, or port is damaged ⚡Make sure you’re using the right charger ⚡Check or disable your device’s charging limit setting ⚡Clean your ports and cables ⚡Don’t use your device while it’s charging ⚡Skip the wireless charging ⚡If all else fails, replace the battery All of these fixes have to do with the device’s #hardware – which is important. However, as batteries travel along their lifecycle and endure frequent use, damage to their internal components is unavoidable. 🔋As batteries are charged, their internal components incrementally accrue damage . 🔋When this damage builds up over time, the battery cannot charge itself as efficiently. When the battery’s functionality decreases, so does its performance (charge time, cycle life, usable capacity) capabilities. 🔋After the battery’s damage passes the point of no return, it’s simply discarded and replaced. So, what can you do to improve this? As a consumer – nothing. Your only solutions are to replace either the battery, or the entire device. As a product #OEM, you can work with #Iontra. We develop charging algorithms that stop the damage from happening, extending the cycle life of the battery by 2X-4X. It sounds unbelievable, but it’s very, very real. And the best part? it can work with your existing battery, and you don’t have to start sourcing a next-gen battery. If you’re ready to start making meaningful performance gains for your battery’s cycle life, reach out to us at [email protected]. Let’s create the best consumer experience, together. #multiplesnotpercentages

It’s unavoidable. Every battery eventually dies. The goal of the battery game is finding ways to give our batteries the longest, healthiest, and happiest lives we can, while maintaining or bettering their performance. Over the years, scientists, interest groups, and even private companies have struggled to find solutions that prevent internal battery damage and truly extend its cycle life. One of these solutions, bypass charging, is starting to pick up steam. Bypass charging allows a device to draw power directly from an outlet. This charging method is gaining popularity because of its low heat generation levels and extending battery life by, you guessed it, bypassing the battery altogether to power the device. This mode can be enabled, for example, when the battery is charged as overcharging is detrimental to battery health. The catch: you have to leave the device plugged in. Bypass charging settings can be found on some #Sony, #Asus, #Xiaomi and #Samsung devices (usually in their gaming modes to facilitate long gaming sessions without raising temperatures) but is not a ubiquitous feature in mobile device markets. Bypass charging is an interesting concept, but don’t mistake it for a one-size-fits-all solution. It is not the only mechanism for extending battery cycle life... because you’d be confusing it with what we offer at #Iontra. We develop charging algorithms that extend battery cycle life. That means... 🔋You don’t need to leave your device plugged in to minimize battery degradation 🔋You don’t need to micromanage when and how much you charge your device to keep it healthy 🔋You don’t need a next-gen battery to achieve next-gen performance Our goal is to enable every battery to live its longest, healthiest life.

The US Department of Energy recently announced an investment in battery recycling facilities to encourage and make it easier for consumers to get rid of old batteries in a sustainable fashion. At #Iontra we see this as a positive step in the bigger picture as part of the move towards a more sustainable future . While proper recycling infrastructure is crucial, extending the overall life of batteries is an even greater opportunity. Here's how Iontra's advanced charge control technology can contribute: 🔋Minimize Battery Damage: Our intelligent charge control algorithms optimize charging cycles, reducing damage in batteries and extending their usable lifespan. This means your electronics last longer, reducing e-waste and the need for frequent replacements. 🔋Unlock Second Life Potential: By preventing early battery degradation and maintaining usable capacity for longer by slowing degradation, Iontra technology unlocks the potential for large capacity batteries to have a second life. These batteries can power everything from backup systems to electric vehicles, maximizing resource and scarce mineral utilization. 🔋Lower Material Waste & Potential Mineral Reuse: Fewer discarded batteries means less waste and a reduced demand for virgin materials like lithium and cobalt. This not only benefits the environment, but also helps secure critical minerals for clean energy technologies. Iontra's innovative approach goes beyond recycling. We empower a more sustainable future by maximizing existing battery life and potential. Let's work together to minimize e-waste!
