Flux Power launches lithium-ion solution for GSE

Flux Power, a developer of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions, announced the launch of its new G-Series G96-G2 High Voltage lithium-ion energy solution for ground support equipment (GSE) and its first order by a major airline customer. The 96-volt G96-G2 will power essential ground support equipment, such as tractors, that require more power for heavier equipment.

“With the launch of the G96-G2 lithium-ion energy solution, Flux Power is delivering an advanced lithium-ion solution that meets the increasing demands for higher voltage, greater efficiency, and sustainability initiatives within the airline sector,” said Kelly Frey, chief revenue officer of Flux Power.

The G96-G2 lithium-ion energy solution features sizes of diverse power capabilities, built-in heaters for cold-temperature operation and a battery management system (BMS) to monitor and optimize battery health.

During the design phase, the G96-G2 lithium-ion energy solution was sent to Europe to be tested with a leading GSE OEM that partnered with Flux Power on the project.

GSE sales and service provider Averest Inc. played a pivotal role in developing the high-voltage energy solution, Flux Power said.

“This higher voltage and higher capacity solution provides our customers with the extended runtime and power they need for the most demanding GSE applications without compromising on efficiency or sustainability,” said Michael Hole, Director of Global Sales and Marketing at Averest, Inc.

Flux Power said it expects future purchase orders from this major airline customer following the initial G96 shipment.
