When EV Batteries Retire, we give them a new purpose.
Just because they've left the road doesn't mean their job is done.

Benefits
Small Business - Big Opportunity
Based in Western Brisbane, we discovered that state-of-the-art large battery energy storage packs were being left to deteriorate.
Electric vehicle battery packs are massive and can power an average house for days!
We decided to give them a new purpose by converting them into a home storage alternative.
How it Works
Learn more about the process of integrating these battery packs into your home energy system and how it can benefit you.

Adoption Check List
Why plug a car battery into your house?
In essence, the most significant advantage of this home battery storage alternative is that it offers a substantially lower cost per unit of available storage.
A Tesla model Y battery stores 4 times the energy of a Tesla Powerwall at the same price. WOW!
Where does it "Plug in"?
Your adopted EV battery requires a "battery ready" inverter to connect to. The battery comes with sockets for your electrician to connect the required cabling to your inverter.
The ‘Better Life’ battery is recognized by your inverter as a proprietary battery, allowing for seamless interaction.
Safe, Smart, and Built Like a Tank
We get it—big batteries can sound a bit intimidating. But rest assured, our systems are designed with safety at the core. These aren’t cobbled-together cells or backyard science projects—they’re Tesla-grade EV battery packs, purpose-built to handle the rough-and-tumble world of the road, now living an easy life at your place. We keep the original Battery Management System (BMS) in place, add an extra layer of software safeguards, we test our batteries and run a full suite of diagnostics to make sure that everything is A++.
It’s like adopting a retired racehorse and letting it chill in the paddock—powerful, but totally under control.
Our Services and Offerings
Battery Pre Purchase Inspections
Our pre-purchase inspection service provides a detailed condition report for EV batteries, ensuring they meet high performance and safety standards before adoption. We assess the battery’s health, capacity, and remaining lifespan. With our thorough evaluation, you can make an informed decision and invest with confidence.
Grid Ready Battery Adoption
We offer vetted EV batteries ready for adoption, giving them a second life as home or business energy storage. Our battery systems provide high-capacity, cost-effective solutions compared to traditional storage options like Tesla Powerwalls. Batteries are inverter ready and have been fuction tested.

Battery Installation Advice
We provide expert engineering guidance to help you integrate battery storage efficiently into your home or business. From system compatibility to performance optimization, we ensure your battery operates safely and delivers reliable, cost-effective power.
BENEFITS
1. More Storage for your money
4 Tesla Power walls for the price of one!
Large battery costing $250 per kWh is on par with industrial battery storage projects.
2. Efficiency
EV batteries often have higher energy efficiency rates compared to traditional storage options using a pack voltage of over 400V, means less line loses and more of the stored energy can be used effectively.
3. Supports a Circular Economy
By repurposing an EV battery, you’re contributing to a circular economy, where valuable materials are reused instead of discarded—reducing demand for new battery production and minimizing environmental impact.
4. Sustainability
Your battery was headed for recycling or disposal, but now it’s powering your home—reducing e-waste and maximizing its useful life.
5. Higher Peak Power Output
EV batteries are designed for high-performance applications, often capable of delivering more power when needed compared to off-the-shelf home storage units.
6. Proven Durability
EV batteries are built to withstand extreme conditions and thousands of charge cycles, making them a reliable and long-lasting home energy solution.
