Renon India launches Groot, a swappable smart battery pack

Renon India, one of India’s leading energy storage companies, has launched its swappable smart batteries, Groot, for electric 2-wheelers. The Li-ion battery pack for low and medium speed EVs is built with NMC chemistry. The Surat-based company aims to meet the requirements of high energy density and peak power needs by using phase change material for thermal management with this pack.

The new pack has a nominal voltage of 57.6 V and a rated energy of 2.04 kWh. It is also water and dust resistant, with an IP-67 rating. The thermally optimised battery packs have a clear advantage with their smart configurable battery management system and integrated display for SOC and SOH algorithms for reliable data collection and range estimation. Overall, Groot is extremely reliable, safe, and built to withstand Indian driving conditions.

Commenting on the same, MD and CEO of Renon India, Aditya Vikram, said, "We are excited to introduce Groot as the next-gen e-mobility solution for India. Renon sees the launch of this E2W Li battery platform as a step forward toward our larger goal. We intend to make further revolutions in the sector to build a strong and sustainable energy storage system in the country."

Renon India has expanded significantly since its foundation in 2019. The company expects to reach a 500+ MWh manufacturing line capacity milestone in the near future, with production technology that can manufacture 3000+ packs a month. It is currently focusing on clocking 40 crore INR in revenue by the end of this financial year.
