Flux Power Unveils Groundbreaking G96-G2 High Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery to Power the Future of Ground Support Equipment
Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLUX), a pioneer in the development of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for commercial and industrial applications, proudly announces the official launch of its latest innovation: the G-Series G96-G2 High Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery. Designed specifically for use in ground support equipment (GSE), this next-generation solution represents a significant leap forward in power, efficiency, and sustainability for the aviation industry. The announcement coincides with the company’s first major customer order from a leading global airline—marking the beginning of what promises to be a transformative impact on airport operations worldwide.
The development of the G96-G2 battery is the result of a highly collaborative effort between Flux Power and Averest Inc., the company’s long-time partner and expert in GSE sales and service. Together, the two organizations combined their technical capabilities, industry insights, and unwavering commitment to innovation and customer service to bring this high voltage solution to life. This joint initiative was born directly out of a growing market demand for more robust, reliable, and environmentally sustainable energy solutions capable of supporting the rigorous operational needs of airline ground equipment.
Collaborative Innovation Driven by Real-World Demand
According to Flux Power’s Chief Revenue Officer, Kelly Frey, the new G96-G2 battery is more than just an upgraded product—it’s a response to the aviation industry’s increasing push toward electrification and carbon reduction.
“With the launch of the G96-G2 lithium-ion energy solution, Flux Power is delivering an advanced, forward-looking battery system that meets the growing demands for higher voltage, greater operational efficiency, and alignment with global sustainability goals,” said Frey. “We are proud to work alongside Averest Inc. to ensure this solution not only meets but exceeds customer expectations for modern GSE performance.”
The G96-G2 is specifically designed to support high-power applications such as electric tractors and heavy-duty tuggers used on the tarmac, which require significantly more energy than smaller equipment. During its development, the battery underwent rigorous field testing in Europe in collaboration with one of the industry’s premier original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for GSE. The extensive evaluation focused on performance, durability, and integration within real-world ground handling environments.
Purpose-Built for Performance and Reliability
The G96-G2 battery is engineered with several advanced features that set it apart from other solutions currently on the market. It boasts a high 96-volt capacity and is available in a range of sizes to meet different equipment power requirements. One of the defining attributes of the G96-G2 is its built-in heater system, designed to maintain performance in cold weather environments—ensuring consistent uptime and reliability across varying climate conditions.
Another hallmark of the G96-G2 is its intelligent Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS constantly monitors and optimizes battery health, balancing cell performance and extending battery lifespan. This system is critical for industrial applications where operational continuity and battery longevity are key to reducing downtime and minimizing maintenance costs.
“Our engineering team focused on creating a battery solution that not only delivers exceptional power but also maintains high standards of safety and efficiency,” explained Frey. “The G96-G2 is built to withstand the demanding conditions faced by GSE fleets on a daily basis, while offering the benefits of clean energy.”
Customer-Centric Approach to Market Expansion
Flux Power’s collaboration with Averest Inc. was instrumental in ensuring the product aligned with the expectations and operational realities of end-users. Averest, which specializes in providing electric solutions for GSE, played a central role in both the development and customer deployment processes.
“The launch of the G96-G2 lithium-ion energy solution is a game-changer for airline ground support,” said Michael Hole, Director of Global Sales and Marketing at Averest Inc. “This higher voltage and higher capacity battery delivers the extended runtime and reliable performance that our customers need for the most demanding GSE applications. At the same time, it supports their broader efforts to reduce carbon emissions and operate more sustainably.”
Hole added, “Our close collaboration with Flux Power has once again proven that when we listen to our customers and innovate accordingly, we can bring to market solutions that truly make a difference in operational efficiency and environmental impact.”
A Milestone First Order and a Glimpse of the Future
The G96-G2’s debut is already off to a strong start with a confirmed initial purchase from a major airline, signaling early market confidence in the new product. Although details of the order remain confidential, Flux Power has indicated that the initial delivery is part of a broader rollout, with additional orders expected in the near future as airline operators look to modernize their GSE fleets with cleaner, more powerful electric alternatives.
“This first order is a milestone moment for the G96-G2 and for Flux Power’s ongoing growth in the aviation sector,” said Frey. “We anticipate that as the benefits of this new battery are realized in real-world settings, more airline customers will follow suit and embrace electrified GSE solutions as a viable, future-ready standard.”
Leading the Charge Toward Electrified Infrastructure
The global aviation industry is undergoing a major transformation as operators, manufacturers, and service providers shift toward greener operations. Airports across the world are investing in electric ground support vehicles, charging infrastructure, and advanced battery technologies that reduce both emissions and fuel costs while supporting more sustainable growth.
Flux Power’s G96-G2 solution is poised to play a significant role in this transition, delivering a clean energy option that meets the operational intensity of modern GSE usage while aligning with environmental mandates and corporate sustainability initiatives.
As the industry continues to evolve, Flux Power remains committed to pushing the boundaries of energy innovation, ensuring that their customers are not only equipped for today’s challenges but are also prepared for the demands of tomorrow.
