Newport Beach, CA – June 2025 – OLOVO Energy, a leading innovator in battery energy storage, has announced the commercial launch of its next-generation lead-acid Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), built around the world’s first sulfation-reversing Battery Management System (BMS). With independently verified results from testing at a large California-based HMO, OLOVO’s breakthrough promises to redefine energy resilience in hospitals and critical infrastructure worldwide.

“This isn’t just a better battery. It’s a smarter, safer, and more sustainable solution for facilities that can’t afford to lose power, ever,” said John Santoyo, Chief Executive Officer of OLOVO Energy.

Tested Performance, Efficiency, and Lead-Acid Safety.

In testing at the healthcare facility, OLOVO’s BMS data shows that the system would dramatically outperform standard lithium, diesel, and lead-acid alternatives, maintaining usable power even after extreme deep discharges. The HMO’s existing lithium BESS system had failed to deliver required performance during real-world outages, highlighting the urgent need for a safer, more reliable backup power system.

OLOVO’s system demonstrated:

• 15-year design life (3× longer than typical lead-acid systems)

• Stable power at low voltage thresholds (as low as 4V)

• Minimal harmonics or fluctuations, critical for sensitive hospital equipment

• Seamless integration with solar, grid, and diesel generation

Why It Matters: Power Resilience in an Age of Uncertainty

Hospitals face growing energy volatility due to grid instability, climate-driven Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), and rising demand from AI-based medical data systems. Lithium batteries, while popular, pose fire risks, supply chain issues, and steep regulatory burdens.

OLOVO solves these challenges by combining the safety and recyclability of lead-acid chemistry with modern battery intelligence:

• Reverses sulfation (the number one cause of lead-acid failure)

• Qualifies for federal ITC and California SGIP rebates

• Reduces diesel runtime and emissions

• Cuts costs by lowering demand charges and peak rates

Healthcare Case Study: A Model for the Future of Hospital Energy

During a real construction-induced outage, the HMO’s lithium BESS failed to support mission critical services. In contrast, the OLOVO system—validated through rigorous lab and field testing—showed uninterrupted, clean backup power, even when pushed to destructive voltage levels.

The performance of OLOVO’s BMS in real-world scenarios:

• Restored power in seconds with zero loss to life-saving equipment

• Buffered against grid fluctuations

• Enabled intelligent peak shaving and time-of-use optimization

• Integrated seamlessly with the HMO’s solar infrastructure

From Microgrids to Mission-Critical

In addition to healthcare, OLOVO’s BESS is ideally suited for:

• Municipal and industrial microgrids

• Renewable energy storage (solar/wind)

• Diesel generator replacement in fire-prone areas

• AI-enabled facilities with strict uptime SLAs

With its extended lifespan, safety profile, and affordability, OLOVO is poised to disrupt the lithium-dominated BESS market while enhancing long-duration energy storage (LDES) capabilities across industries.
