Mission

At GCE, we have one simple goal and one simple technology:

To build a 100%-green battery that is able to replace fossil fuel –powered engine and environmentally hazardous lead-acid battery.

To build a high performance, light-weight battery with robust charging and discharging systems in order to truly deliver the advantages of a multiple-cell phosphate battery pack.

Why LiFePO4 Battery?[The Advantages of LiFePO4 Battery]

Safety and Eco-FriendlyLi-Phosphate material has much better thermo-resistance capability; does not explode under extreme conditions. It has complete Eco-Friendly chemistry vs. poisonous Lead-Acid and Ni-MH.

Performance and StabilityMuch higher instantaneous power output than conventional batteries. Capacity of a multi-cell 48V battery (with 32 10Ah cells) tested showed more than 90% remains after 300+ life-cycles. Estimated capacity after 1000 life-cycles is 70%. These battery life-cycles are about 5 years in normal operation for a 48V electric motorcycle.

Cost-Effective Much cost-effective comparing with conventional battery in terms of costs of expensive controller system and professional maintenance tasks.

Current Product Line12V: 5Ah, 7.5Ah and 10Ah 24V: 5Ah, 7.5Ah and 10Ah36V: 7.5Ah, 10Ah and 20Ah48V: 7.5Ah, 20Ah and 40Ah

Polar Bear Power Batteries feature robust safety designs with built-in BMS providing protections against:a. Over-Charging b. Over-Dischargingc. Over-Current d. Short-Circuit

The advanced built-in BMS with ICMS(Individual Cell Monitoring System) uses individual control IC to accurately monitor charging and discharging voltage at each cell in order to keep the best of capacity balance for all cells, which greatly optimize the performance of a multi-cell LiFePO4 battery pack.

Polar Bear Technologies

Technology for Efficient Cell BalanceThe essential of Cell Balance Management is the

capability in keeping high capacity and performance of a battery after long-term operation. Our BMS starts at the beginning of battery cell testing and matching, not after the assembly of a battery.

Technology for Real-World PerformanceWith the advanced built-in BMS featuring

ICMS(Individual Cell Monitoring System) design, robust protections are assured at any operation condition. Discharging is promptly activated at right time with right amount of power needed at operation. No energy is wasted.

Technology for Cost-EffectivenessInstead of using expensive components on

complicate circuit boards, we invested in Cell Testing and Matching Process to optimize the balance system. Simplicity is the idea to design a logical BMS for practical and cost-effective application.
