VANCOUVER, BC - April 20, 2026
Moment Energy, the global leader in battery repurposing, and Pulsenics, a Toronto-based developer of diagnostic equipment, today announced a joint project to develop advanced quality control for end-of-life EV batteries. NGen is supporting the $5M project. The partnership will scale second-life battery solutions to address the 5.6 GWh demand fueled by the rapid growth of AI data centers and quantum computing
Moment Energy will develop industrial-scale workflows based on AccelaGrade, a new battery qualification solution. AccelaGrade, launched by Pulsenics earlier this year, is a scalable quality control solution for used batteries that cuts testing time by up to 90%. AccelaGrade integrates multiple testing methods into a single dataset that reports battery state-of-health (SoH) in less than 30 minutes.
“The ability to rapidly and accurately qualify used batteries is critical in scaling the second-life industry. This partnership allows us to vastly increase our manufacturing capacity by several GWh. This growth is supported by our world-class battery testing methodology, which remains the safest in the industry as the only one to hold full UL certifications for years,” said Edward Chiang, Co-Founder and CEO of Moment Energy. “Automakers and customers want to know they are working with a battery manufacturer that is unrelenting on safety and is always looking to keep the customer, community and their employees safe. We are proud these partners chose to work with us, as others in the market struggle to meet this bare minimum quality.”
Moment Energy, which recently announced a series of successful funding events for a cumulative of $60 million raised to date, is growing quickly to meet demand from BESS operators. Partnering with Pulsenics will help Moment Energy test batteries faster.
As the leader in safe, large-scale repurposing of EV batteries into BESS, Moment Energy is diverting EV batteries from the landfill, helping commercial, industrial, and utility organizations reduce their resource footprints while strengthening the grid.
“As the first wave of electric vehicles reaches end-of-life, we've got an enormous opportunity to keep those batteries in the field as long as possible,” said Mariam Awara, COO and co-Founder of Pulsenics. “Moment Energy leads the field of battery repurposing into stationary battery storage and is the only UL-certified repurposer in North America. We're proud to help the BESS industry save money, reduce waste, and deploy used batteries faster.”

PROBLEM
Preserving the "Rustic Feel"
God’s Pocket Resort stands as a world-renowned destination for cold-water diving and kayaking, nestled on a remote island accessible only by boat. For over 100 years, the area has served as a refuge for sailors and fishermen, and today the resort continues that tradition of sanctuary by offering adventurers a rustic, immersive experience far from the grid.
However, operating off-grid presented a loud and expensive problem. For years, the resort relied entirely on a traditional setup utilizing lead-acid battery banks and diesel generators.
"It’s the traditional way to set things up, but it poses many challenges with running larger machinery and having heavy energy demands."
Claus Eckbo, Owner of God’s Pocket Resort
The constant hum of generators distracted from the natural beauty guests came to see, and the logistics of transporting thousands of litres of diesel to a remote island proved both costly and risky. Claus required a solution capable of handling the resort’s heavy energy load, including the kitchen, dive compressors, and guest lodging, without compromising the environment he and visiting guests cherished.
SOLUTION
Designed to evolve.
Claus partnered with Moment Energy to install the Flora battery energy storage system, a repurposing-first energy storage solution designed to withstand the rigors of remote operation. Three years and 1,000 cycles later, the resort operates on a completely different rhythm. Since the initial installation, Claus has successfully upgraded the resort’s infrastructure by integrating a new solar array that feeds directly into the BESS. This solar upgrade allows the batteries to charge from the sun, further reducing dependency on the generator in keeping operations running.
"The impact on the environment is significantly lower, I started to realize how quiet the machinery is because we’re not having to run the generators at the same time."
Claus Eckbo, Owner of God’s Pocket Resort
The system has done more than maintain the status quo. It has enabled growth and proven itself as a reliable partner in the resort's evolution, integrating seamlessly as Claus continues to invest in elevating the immersive, natural experience guests value most.
SUPPORT
Built to last.
This summer, Moment Energy's team made the trip to God's Pocket to conduct routine maintenance on the battery system. Lauren Boers, Application Engineer, and Jarod Krane, Electrical Engineer, spent time on-site ensuring the system was operating to Moment Energy’s high performance standards and integrating smoothly with the resort's recent upgrades.
“The energy solution now, it completely changed the game, very impressed with Moment Energy and their entire team's commitment to ensuring that their solution is something that will last a very long time.”
Claus Eckbo, Owner of God’s Pocket Resort
This hands-on approach reflects Moment Energy's customer-first core philosophy and commitment to long-lasting, sustainable solutions. Each battery module in God’s Pocket once powered an electric vehicle and was given a second life through rigorous testing, certification, and engineering at Moment Energy’s facility. The result is a clean, reliable, and affordable system that supports Claus’s vision for the future of his resort.
"Being a local company, we have the opportunity to build these relationships and come out to client sites to provide the maintenance that keeps the batteries operating year after year, it's something we really pride ourselves in."
Lauren Boers, Applications Engineer at Moment Energy
As Moment Energy advances the next-generation of its Luna and Nova systems, with higher energy density and modular swappability, the team remains just as focused on supporting customers beyond, and even before, installation. Grounded in a mission to make clean energy attainable and affordable, Moment Energy helps facilities secure BC Hydro incentives, federal tax credits, and financing support that routinely reduce project costs to less than 10% of the total capital investment.
For Claus and operations like God’s Pocket, it means having a partner that is committed not only to innovative technology but also to the long-term success of the project.
FUTURE
Powering what comes next.
As God's Pocket Resort enters its next phase of operation, the Moment Energy system continues to function as the backbone of its infrastructure. The 1,000th cycle marks just the beginning of a long lifespan that Claus expects will serve the resort's evolving needs for years to come. For remote operations facing similar challenges, whether resorts, research stations, or industrial sites, and more, God's Pocket demonstrates that battery energy storage isn't just about reducing costs. It's about building resilient, adaptable energy systems that improve operations today while supporting growth tomorrow. And with over 1,000 cycles behind it, this system is just getting started.
