We decided to use second-life batteries for two main reasons; humanitarian and environmental.
There’s humanitarian and environmental issues around the materials used to make lithium-ion batteries. Especially around cobalt and lithium. Many modern mobility vehicles such as e-bikes have completely fine batteries at the end of life of the e-bike's life. They have to be put out of service due to issues with circuit boards or coming to a fixed ‘3 year period’ where they have to replace a fleet according to contracts.
We have done vigorous quality checking and testing to ensure that the batteries are absolutely reliable and works well as a normal battery should with high capacity. We have passed UN38.3 with flying colours, which allows us to legally use these batteries in consumer electronic products like our Bluetooth Speakers and Power Banks. It's a world-first to use second-life lithium batteries in a commercial consumer electronic product like our Bluetooth Speakers and Power Banks.
These batteries are individually tested and reliable to use in our high quality products.
We are proud to say that your gomi product is 100% powered by waste.
