Flux Power, which develops lithium-ion energy storage solutions and software-driven electrification for commercial and industrial equipment, has been awarded a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for its battery charging technology.
The patent covers a breakthrough approach to battery charge balancing centered on a technology called Predictive Quantum Balancing, which is designed to optimize performance, extend battery life and reduce operational downtime.
The system advances Flux Power’s proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) by introducing a data-driven method of managing charge distribution at the cell level, learning from past behavior to guide future performance. Rather than relying solely on reactive balancing during charge cycles, the system stores imbalance patterns in memory and assigns permanent discharge durations to overperforming cells, to improve stability and long-term efficiency.
Predictive Quantum Balancing addresses a core challenge in lithium-ion systems—maintaining 100% of the total pack capacity by balancing the battery 24/7. Flux Power’s system continuously monitors cell behavior, logs imbalance trends in a histogram and when long-term discrepancies are detected, assigns custom “bleed-off” durations to specific cells during each charge cycle.
Benefits include extended battery life to lower total cost of ownership (TCO); faster, smarter charging; predictive maintenance capabilities for more proactive fleet management and fleet performance optimization for enhanced productivity and strategic business insights.
“This patent reflects our commitment to innovation where it matters most: real-world uptime, battery longevity, and total cost of ownership for our customers,” said Mark Barmettler, VP of Engineering at Flux Power. “This type of intelligence makes a measurable difference for our partners in material handling, GSE, and logistics operations where every minute counts.”
