ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION

PROOF OF CONCEPT FOR BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

As part of Northport’s ESG initiatives, the team is exploring a Battery Management System where used batteries from heavy
equipment are revived and given a second lease of life. This system revitalises these batteries through a regeneration process,
restoring their performance to near-original levels. This approach not only extends the lifespan of the batteries but also reduces
the need for frequent replacements and any additional operational costs.
