■ ‘Better.Re’ solution awarded CES 2026 Innovation Award in Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category, making LG Energy Solution the first battery company to earn this recognition purely through software technology
 
■ The award-winning integrated battery life management solution leverages battery health diagnosis and charging control technologies to help double mobility battery lifespan and reduce costs
 
■ Setting new standards for long-lasting battery reliability, LG Energy Solution well positioned to lead the BaaS (Battery as a Service) era
 
 
SEOUL, November 6, 2025 – LG Energy Solution announced today that its integrated battery life management solution, ‘Better.Re,’ has been named an honoree in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category at the CES® 2026 Innovation Awards. This marks the first time a battery company has earned this recognition purely through software technology.
 
Designed to maximize battery lifecycle and lower repair and replacement costs, the solution is expected to extend the lifespan of mobility batteries by around two times.
 
Better.Re collects data on users’ driving, charging, and parking habits, assesses battery management against 16 key battery aging factors, and provides personalized behavioral guidance via a dedicated app. The app’s user-friendly interface uses clear visual indicators to make battery health easier to understand, enabling more informed decisions. Additionally, a reward system and certification program encourage continued use. Internal analysis suggests the solution could double the duration that an EV battery’s State of Health Capacity (SOHC), or the proportion of total expected life, is maintained at 98%, from 1.5 years to 3 years.
 
In certain controllable environments, such as Battery Swapping Stations (BSS), Better.Re applies proactive charging control when anomalies are predicted to prevent battery degradation. According to LG Energy Solution’s internal analysis, the technology is expected to double the time before SOHC of electric two-wheeler batteries drops below 70% from 5 years to 10 years.
 
As electrification expands, predicting and optimizing battery life is increasingly critical, driving growth in the BaaS (Battery as a Service) market, which focuses on battery utilization across the entire product lifecycle. Better.Re provides machine learning-based prediction, anomaly detection, and safety control, establishing a cornerstone for BaaS business models, including warranty, insurance, swapping, leasing, and resale.
 
“This CES Innovation Award is a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation,” said Dal Hoon Lee, BMS R&D Group Leader at LG Energy Solution. “We will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of our BaaS business with advanced technologies that effectively conduct safety diagnosis and manage battery degradation, further cementing our foothold in the energy industry.”
