Battery Repair

NOWOS repairs lithium-ion batteries using OEM-approved parts and procedures. We maintain full EU compliance as well as UN38.3 and CE standards.

Why repair?

  • It works. NOWOS repairs batteries at an ~89% success rate*

  • Save an average of 55% on TCO over a battery's lifetime

  • Battery lifetimes are extended by 2-5 years

  • Reduce your product downtime

  • It’s safe & EU compliant. NOWOS only repairs using original components and OEM-approved processes.

Together with Nowos, we’ve given thousands of batteries a second life, extending their use and preventing unnecessary waste. This collaboration is a great example of how working with the right partners can create real impact.

Single-cell replacement: did you know?

86% of batteries can be safely repaired through mechanical component maintenance, without the need for single-cell replacement.

STUDY (January 2026): 86% of micro-mobility battery failures processed by NOWOS are related to structural (70%) or electronic components (16%).

An analysis of 240.000 diagnostics and repairs performed on batteries sent to NOWOS since 2020 reveals that 86% of micro-mobility battery failures are related to structural (70%) or electronic components (16%), such as casing damage and software locks, rather than the cells themselves.

From the 14% unrepaired batteries, the majority have problems with the complete cell pack. A small percentage has individual cell problems. By replacing only one cell module, though, the other cell modules will often fail due to corrosion.

→ These findings suggest that the majority of batteries can be safely repaired, without the need for single-cell replacement, provided the industry prioritizes accessibility and high-quality design.

HOW WE WORK

  • We first assess any documentation you have such as the UN 38.3, MSDS, any technical sheets

  • With a sample of 5-10 batteries, chargers and tooling we perform a physical repairabiity test on batteries. We look at the time it takes to dismantle and reassemble, availability of spare parts, skills required.

    This allows us to provide a repair quote.

  • We discuss together the potential volume of batteries in need of repair on a monthly and/or yearly basis.

  • After agreeing on a Statement of Work outlining all the requirements, we start a pilot batch of repairs and prepare for the next flows.
