Backpower

About

Founded in 2014, Backpower is a private headquartered in Pernes-les-Fontaines, France with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Energy Storage.

Backpower, formerly known as VeloBatterie, is a French battery reconditioning specialist with over 10 years of experience. The company refurbishes lithium-ion batteries for electric bicycles, scooters, and other electric mobility devices by replacing worn cells with new high-quality NCM lithium-ion cells while retaining the original battery casing. This process restores initial autonomy and can increase capacity within available space. Manufacturing is performed in-house at their facility in Vaucluse, France. The company offers a 2-year warranty, typical turnaround of 15 business days, and free pickup/delivery services. Reconditioning costs range from €250–€500 depending on the model. Backpower services batteries from major manufacturers including Giant, Arcade, Decathlon, Bosch, Nakamura, BH Bikes, and others. The company emphasizes sustainability through 100% recycling of used cells and reduced environmental impact compared to replacement batteries. After reconditioning, batteries typically maintain 80% capacity after 600 charge cycles and provide an average lifespan of 5 years, at approximately 30% less cost than new batteries.
