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.

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.

Product Demo 1[ISEKI 24V10Ah Electric Tiller]
SimpleJust hold the start handle to operate the tiller and release to stop.LightThe total weight is well under 21kg for the tiller and just 2.7kg for the battery. QuietNo loud engine noise. A neighbor-friendly advantage let you enjoy the nature more.SafeAn AC 300W output supplies sufficient power for desire operation time while safety features are well designed electrically and mechanically. Healthy and CleanNo air pollution. No bad smell when storing in garage or in a car for delivery.
Product Demo 2[Kentfa 48V20Ah Electric Motorcycle]
UL-Certified SafetyNot only the body mechanism but also the battery electricity are certified by UL, passing numeric strict safety tests.PowerfulPolar Bear Battery provides this bike with 650W output for up to 12 degrees of uphill ride. It’s easy to enjoy up to a 60KM of riding with a top speed at 45Km per hour. Eco-FriendlyNo air pollution, no gas-exhaust smell. A fine act to reduce global warming and acid-rain. You actually can save money to save the globe. EconomicalLow cost in long-term owner-ship, only $0.6 cent per mile in mileage cost, according to public utility charge in Taiwan.
