Technology brief
AEROBATT applies the BINARY BATTERY platform to heavy machinery — excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks — providing autonomous power and hybrid drive without dependence on fuel logistics or grid charging.
The challenge
Modernization of heavy machinery engines: excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks. Autonomous power supply for mobile equipment. Hybrid drive systems for construction and mining fleets operating away from grid and fuel infrastructure.
ARBOK solution
AEROBATT applies the BINARY BATTERY platform to heavy machinery — excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks — providing autonomous power and hybrid drive without dependence on fuel logistics or grid charging. It differs from standard stationary BINARY BATTERY deployment in four respects: compact packaging sized for vehicle installation, integration with the machine's hydraulic systems, recuperation of braking energy, and fully autonomous operation with no external recharging.
The binary acid–alkaline electrochemical system of BINARY BATTERY — two electrolyte circuits with self-regenerating graphene-based electrodes, no consumables and no thermal runaway — is repackaged into a compact form factor that fits heavy machinery. Power is delivered to the drive and to the machine's hydraulic systems. Braking energy is recuperated back into the battery. Because the system needs no external charging, the machine operates without fuel delivery or a charging point.

Market and application
Heavy construction and mining equipment is a segment where diesel logistics dominates operating cost and remote sites make refuelling expensive — the same economics that drive the BINARY BATTERY case against remote diesel generation at $10–15/kWh.
Quantified market sizing specific to the heavy-machinery segment has not yet been compiled. The addressable base is the global fleet of construction and mining equipment that operates in remote or off-grid locations, where diesel logistics and refuelling already carry a significant cost per the base-platform economics cited above.

Use cases
Modernization of heavy machinery engines: excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks. Autonomous power supply for mobile equipment. Hybrid drive systems for construction and mining fleets operating away from grid and fuel infrastructure.
Intended as a retrofit and new-build option for heavy equipment fleets operating off-grid. Base platform is stated ready; integration onto heavy machinery is in development.
Installation follows a structured retrofit sequence: removal of the legacy fuel system, mounting of the battery pack and control electronics, integration with the drive and hydraulic interfaces, and commissioning checks. Retrofit time and operator training requirements are scoped per equipment class and fleet size.

Inherited from the base platform (BINARY BATTERY): no consumables, electrolyte topped up only when required; self-regenerating electrodes; guaranteed service life 10 years, extendable; no thermal runaway or overheating; electricity cost approximately $0.02/kWh at industrial scale.
Machine-specific parameters — power rating, pack weight and volume, recuperation efficiency, and duty cycle — are set individually for each equipment class, sized to match the host machine's drivetrain and hydraulic load while fitting within its existing installation envelope.
Compact BINARY BATTERY pack sized for vehicle installation; power interface to the drive system; interface to the machine's hydraulic systems; braking energy recuperation circuit; control electronics.
Detailed component specification is finalized per equipment class during the retrofit engineering phase, matching pack geometry and interface hardware to the target machine.
Technical: no fuel system, therefore no fuel pumps, filters, injectors or tanks to maintain; braking energy recovered rather than lost as heat; self-regenerating electrodes give service life measured in years rather than charge cycles; no thermal runaway.
Operational: fully autonomous — no charging station, no grid connection, no diesel delivery to remote sites; direct integration with existing hydraulic systems.
Environmental: no emissions at point of use; no consumables or waste streams.

Early prototype. The BINARY BATTERY platform underlying it is rated TRL 4–5; the heavy-machinery integration is not separately rated.

Integration onto heavy machinery is in development and unproven in the field. Packaging the two-circuit binary architecture into a mobile, vibrating, dust-exposed environment is a materially different engineering problem from the stationary 20-ft tank configuration. Recuperation efficiency and duty-cycle behaviour under real excavator or dump-truck loads are undocumented. The underlying platform sits at TRL 4–5, so platform-level risks carry through.
