Be Energy: Batteries Plus Solutions
NIMH BATTERIES
A solution unique in France. Winner of ADEME’s i-nov competition.
We succeeded in proposing economical and ecological solutions after 2 years of R&D in our own laboratory.
Hybrid NiMH battery regeneration restores the performance of self-charging vehicles without replacing the entire pack. At Be Energy, we perform accurate diagnostics and targeted intervention on prismatic or cylindrical modules.
What is a NiMH battery?
A NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hybrid) battery is a hybrid self-recharging battery.
These batteries recharge by recovering energy while driving, rather than relying on an external source such as a power outlet.
Two models are available:
- NiMH batteries with prismatic modules, which are found on Lexus and Toyota vehicles .
- NiMH batteries with cylindrical modules for PSA vehicles. PSA vehicles .
How do I know if my hybrid battery needs regenerating?
Degradation of a NiMH battery in a self-charging hybrid vehicle can manifest itself particularly in increased fuel consumption, but also in :
- Reduced performance .
- A warning light on the dashboard
- Starting problems
- Annormal operating modes
- A change in driving mode
- An abnormal noise
How Be Energy regenerates your hybrid battery
Our specialized technicians perform an initial battery qualification to retrieve data for estimating the battery’s state of health (State Of Health).
Then, to break the memory effect that forms with wear and degrades batteries, we proceed to send electrical pulses into the battery.
Our R&D department worked on the development and production of a new machine capable of sending electrical pulses to 2 battery packs (60 modules) simultaneously with independent and different programs.
We also developed a rapid diagnosis method based on machine learning, with the aim of estimating the SOH of the battery and defining whether it is regenerable or not.

Regeneration of hybrid batteries
To regenerate NiMH batteries, it is often necessary to replace some of the modules that make up the battery, because they are too degraded to be regenerated.
In these cases, our technicians recondition the battery with modules from the circular economy, to be 100% logical with our environmental and responsible positioning. As a player and specialist in the second life of products
In our NiMH workshop, our technicians have at their disposal a “modulothèque” with a capacity of 2,160 cylindrical and prismatic modules combined.
Our specialized technicians have undergone specific training to intervene in complete safety on your self-charging hybrid batteries.
Who can use Be Energy’s services for their NiMH hybrid battery?

The benefits of regenerating hybrid batteries
Is regenerating NiMH batteries more environmentally friendly than buying new ones?
By having your NiMH battery regenerated at Be Energy, you’re helping to reduce the ecological impact of our industries and safeguard our ecosystem.
1 ton of NiMH battery treated = 20 tons of CO2 saved.
Waste reduction
Regenerating NiMH batteries extends the life of existing batteries, helping to reduce the amount of waste and minimize the environmental impact associated with the disposal of used batteries.
.
Financial savings
Regeneration is a more economical option than buying a new battery, as it allows your NiMH battery to be reused without any change of use. 50% cheaper
Preserving natural resources
By extending the life of your NiMH battery, regeneration helps save natural resources by avoiding the production of new batteries and the extraction of raw materials.
Lower CO2 emissions
The manufacture of new batteries is associated with CO2 emissions. Battery regeneration helps to reduce these emissions. 1 tonne of NiMH battery regenerated = 20 tonnes of CO2 saved.
Have Be Energy regenerate my NiMH battery
Be Energy offers a shuttle service for the regeneration of your NiMH battery.
A shuttle box containing a replacement battery is sent to you with a return label to send your used NiMH battery to the Be Energy factory.
