Smart Battery Solutions

One Swap at a Time

HYBA’s vision is to​ provide the smartest battery solutions to revolutionize electric appliances. 

We believe modular swappable technology is key to reduce our industry carbon footprint, drive efficiency, and foster a circular economy.

 

 

What we offer

We provide batteries and a smart swap system. HYBA POD is designed to optimize efficiency and safety.

  • Customize the power to serve different application sizes and purposes  (group up to six battery packs of 1,8kWh each).   ​

  • Battery as a service (BAAS): Rent or buy HYBA PODs tailored to your individual needs.​

  • Smart Battery Management system (TCU): Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance for improved battery performance and safety.​

  • Resource-efficient maintenance & upgrade through modular structure.​

  • Access to the latest global technology and reliable manufacturers ​

  • HYBA fully handles battery health and end-of-life management.

  • Standardized design makes the battery exchangeable across different applications. ​

Applications

The main driver of the HYBA battery design is to improve safety and reusability.

That’s why we have built a modular bottom up system consisting of singular cells, that are assembled into stand-alone modules with a focus on easiness of disassembling and cell replacement.

The modules can be stacked before they are merged into a battery pack: the HYBA POD. You can group up to 6 PODS in one application.

The technical heart of the unique battery system are the TCU (telematics control unit) enabling remote monitoring and user-interface access and the innovative BMS (Battery management system).

HYBA holds patents for the complete hardware system and the general design.
