About MAKI Batteries
MAKI Batteries is a brand of Second Ride GmbH based in Berlin-Tempelhof. The company manufactures high-performance battery packs for OEMs, primarily manufacturers of light electric vehicles, robotics systems and stationary energy storage. At the core of the technology is a patented force-fit contact system that replaces conventional spot welding and enables the replacement of individual weak cells instead of replacing the entire pack. Each cell is directly connected to a cooling plate, allowing fast charging in under one hour even for passively cooled packs; a smart battery management system monitors each cell individually and detects degradation, water ingress or mechanical stress. Standard packs from a quantity of one, custom battery packs with individual housing shape, CAN bus software and branding from 100 units, as well as R&D services and licensing of the cell contact technology from 2,000 units are offered. Development and manufacturing take place entirely at the Im Marienpark 3 site in Berlin.
