LG Energy Solution won a CES 2027 Innovation Award for Re.Pulse, a software-based battery diagnostic solution. The award was given by the U.S. Consumer Technology Association and marks the company's second consecutive year receiving a CES Innovation Award.
Why it matters
Battery evaluation grows more important as electric vehicle adoption rises and used battery volumes increase. Faster, equipment-free diagnostics could make assessing used battery packs more practical.
Re.Pulse cuts battery diagnostic time from more than 7 hours to within 10 minutes and works without removing the battery from the vehicle or using dedicated diagnostic equipment. Independent validation of these results was not reported.
The players
LG Energy Solution
A South Korean battery manufacturer and a subsidiary of LG Group that supplies lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
U.S. Consumer Technology Association
The trade association that produces the CES trade show in Las Vegas and runs its annual CES Innovation Awards program.
The details
Re.Pulse applies a specific current to a battery and analyzes voltage changes through an AI model to assess the condition of individual cells within a pack. It can be used alongside existing battery charge-discharge testers or electric vehicle chargers, and the company plans to let users view diagnostic results through web and mobile apps.
Timeline
Last year: LG Energy Solution's Better.Re battery lifespan technology received a CES Innovation Award.
November 9, 2026: LG Energy Solution announced the Re.Pulse CES 2027 Innovation Award win.
Roadmap
LG Energy Solution's second consecutive CES Innovation Award follows its earlier Better.Re lifespan technology and reflects a broader focus on battery lifecycle management as electric vehicle adoption grows. Used battery diagnostics are becoming a more central part of that lifecycle, which is driving demand for faster evaluation tools.
Faster used-battery diagnostics could make it easier for buyers and sellers of used electric vehicles and battery packs to verify battery condition quickly. The technology's availability to consumers has not been announced.
The takeaway
Battery health is becoming a key factor in electric vehicle ownership, and faster diagnostics could help reduce uncertainty around used battery value. Readers interested in the technology can follow future announcements from LG Energy Solution on Re.Pulse's commercial rollout.
