LG Energy Solution Wins CES Innovation Awards 2027 for Its Fast and Precise Second-Life Battery Diagnostic System

• Software-based state-of-health (SoH) diagnostic solution 'Re.Pulse' named a CES Innovation Awards® 2027 honoree in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category
• Solution cuts diagnosis time from over seven hours to under 10 minutes, while advancing beyond pack-level monitoring to cell-level assessment for higher precision
• Seamlessly integrating with standard battery capacity testers and EV chargers, Re.Pulse can be easily deployed across various environments

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Energy Solution (KRX: 373220) today announced that Re.Pulse, its software-based state-of-health (SoH) diagnostic solution for used batteries, has been named an honoree in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category at the CES Innovation Awards® 2027.

Reflecting its name, Re.Pulse embodies the concept of reviving the "pulse" of a used battery and giving it a second life. By applying current pulses and analyzing the resulting voltage response, the solution rapidly evaluates the SoH of a battery, whether in service or after removal. Based on the diagnostic results, used batteries can be directed to the most appropriate next step across three pathways: reuse, remanufacturing, or recycling, helping maximize their value throughout the battery lifecycle.

Re.Pulse addresses two key limitations of conventional battery diagnosis: lengthy testing times and the inability to identify localized degradation within a battery pack. While conventional SoH testing requires a full discharge-recharge-discharge cycle lasting more than seven hours, Re.Pulse estimates battery condition in under 10 minutes. It also advances diagnosis beyond conventional pack-level monitoring by evaluating SoH at the cell level, helping detect degraded cells that traditional methods cannot identify. Access to this more precise data enables users to take targeted action, such as repairing or replacing specific units, reducing the premature disposal of usable batteries as well as the carbon emissions associated with producing replacement batteries.

Re.Pulse is a software-based system that seamlessly integrates with standard battery capacity testers and EV chargers, eliminating the need for any additional dedicated hardware while enabling deployment across diverse environments such as EV maintenance and inspection centers, fleet operations, used-battery energy storage projects, and used-vehicle sales and evaluation platforms.

Diagnostic results will be provided across various formats, including web and mobile applications, allowing users to precisely determine battery SoH and make confident, informed decisions on the optimal pathway.

"The CES Innovation Award recognition demonstrates how our deep battery expertise can be combined with software innovation to create new value across the battery lifecycle," said Sanghoon Lee, leader of the Pack/BMS Research Service Solution Department at LG Energy Solution. "Through Re.Pulse, we aim to unlock greater value from used batteries by enabling more informed second-life decisions, while helping build a more sustainable and circular battery ecosystem."

As electrification expands across various sectors, accurate evaluation of batteries after their first use is becoming increasingly important to the economics and sustainability of the battery value chain. LG Energy Solution plans to continue advancing battery lifecycle management technologies and strengthening its Battery-as-a-Service capabilities across diagnostics, management, and second-life applications.
