The product is a small-capacity lithium-ion battery solution developed to replace lead-acid batteries used in electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers, which are among the primary means of transportation in Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The product\u2019s most distinctive competitive advantage lies in the efficient rebirth of used cylindrical batteries, or re-use cells. High-capacity cylindrical battery cells recovered from electric vehicles, including Tesla vehicles, are precisely diagnosed and grouped through the company\u2019s proprietary AI screening method. This minimizes performance variation compared with new cells while enabling the product to be supplied at approximately 40 to 50 percent lower cost. As a result, the company realizes both the environmental value of resource circulation and outstanding price competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of technical specifications, the E-Moped battery delivers significant improvements over conventional lead-acid batteries. The product features a 50.4V 30Ah, 1.4kWh-class specification. Compared with existing lead-acid batteries weighing 28.8kg, it reduces weight by more than 66 percent to 10kg and improves volume by 25 percent, maximizing the driving efficiency of mobility equipment. It also shortens charging time from the previous 8 to 10 hours to 2.5 hours and extends lifespan by more than three times, with more than 2,000 cycles, significantly reducing customers\u2019 total cost of ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PM Energy Solution\u2019s proprietary safety solutions are also integrated into the product. The E-Moped battery is equipped with a self-developed battery management system, or BMS, designed to meet the level of KC62619 functional safety certification, helping prevent fire risks in advance. In particular, the product includes a built-in fire pad, further strengthening the physical and chemical safety of the battery pack. In addition, an optional real-time monitoring system supporting CAN 2.0 and TCP\/IP communication provides a smart operating environment that allows users to check battery status anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe E-Moped battery is a product that integrates our technological capabilities across the entire battery lifecycle, from cell sourcing to mobility-specific design,\u201d said CEO Hyun Deok-soo. \u201cThrough collaboration and demonstration evaluations with local partners, including Vietnamese motorcycle manufacturer Victoria, we aim to become a leading player in the Southeast Asian market for replacing lead-acid batteries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etnews.com\/tools\/image_popup.html?v=bjQ5VkNYY2dLZTZMZFBUbmNzandvWmpGcjBTK1pHYm1CUVRXR0pTMldlYVZkdE5JeGJVUFVVNURJN04rbmhKTXZvV2xtaGtiL3E5czRyaFBJbDFJcXFubkVWV1VtWURGaE16cysxN2FzS0txMnh1M05BT3NMVDhRbndJL1Q1M0tEYThNSkg1eUtBSStNT3BkUEIwVWJjbVBtNEhoMVdNb2VDTkMrRGUwVzFXOWh1aWFybk5ucmFmSG5NQXdPclpzV21VcHRhWFc2ZmhYNExKV1NTNklUSHpOdG0yQWgwRDd1dzVmWXRIQnl0UXF2dFpUQWNaMllqTk5VLy9wb3prMW94d0thN2lxY1VlS3h1Q1U4Z3A2d0psTng1MzFDRDVoanJKRmJkMk5wZFk9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.etnews.com\/news\/article\/2026\/02\/27\/news-p.v1.20260227.db4d5d4630ef44e88f1647cf1c93d20b_P2.png\" alt=\"\ud604\ub355\uc218 \ud53c\uc5e0\uc5d0\ub108\uc9c0\uc194\ub8e8\uc158 \ub300\ud45c.\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hyun Deok-soo, CEO of PM Energy Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PM Energy Solution is widely recognized for its innovation both in Korea and abroad.
