The Battery X-Tender

The phrase, “They don’t build ‘em like they used to” certainly applies to today’s automotive lead acid batteries, or so it would seem.  Many fleets of delivery vehicles mandate that the driver turn the engine off when doing a delivery, restart the engine to drive to the next stop, rinse and repeat.  Starting the engine puts a high-current drain on the battery (which shortens life span), then when the engine starts, the alternator puts a high-current charge on the battery (also shortening life span).  The Battery X-Tender absorbs these high-current surges to dramatically extend the life of lead acid starter batteries.  We’ve seen 2.5 times the rated life in R&D (8 years to the month on a 42 month battery).

 


 

The NXG

Taking the Battery X-Tender concept one step further, the NXG replaces the lead acid starter battery entirely.  It is a ground-up redesign engineered to last 10 years or more.  Chances are it can be removed from a vehicle at trade-in and installed in the new vehicle.


Business-in-a-Box

There is a vast number of products where rechargeable batteries are removed from the equipment, placed in a charger, then reinstalled in the device.  Power tools, lawn and garden equipment, drones, and many other now-common products employ this strategy.  Business-in-a-Box (BiB) is a business model, complete with training, tools, supplies, and marketing strategies geared for individuals wanting self employment repairing these batteries.

 


 

Solar

We are currently conducting solar experiments to evaluate current products with intent to add our “special sauce” to make improvements.  We don’t reverse-engineer, we merely evaluate performance.  At this time, it is suggestive that we will be able to reduce the number of solar panels required to power a house (or business), and the amount of back-up power (batteries or other form of energy storage medium).  We are designing charge controllers, inverters, BMSs (Battery Management Systems), and energy storage mediums (battery equivalents) with performance thresholds that far exceed what we’ve seen currently on the market.


Impact

 

Environmental & Ecological Impacts

Tremendous amounts of energy go into mining and refining what becomes a battery.  Furthermore, most folks simply toss weak batteries into the trash to end up in land fills, introducing toxic chemicals into the soil.  Reducing the load at both ends can make a significant impact on the environment.


Humanitarian Contributions

Instead of teaming up with big corporations, NextGen is structured to work with average people from various walks of life to enrich their standard of living, while providing an environmentally favorable solution that saves our end users money.  Everyone benefits; our partners, customers, even Mother Earth.
