They read the CAN bus. We take the battery's pulse. That is the shortest description of BatteryPulse™, and it is the line Mustafa Şimşek, eMOBINO's founder, will be repeating in Helsinki this month.
He will be there for Slush week, 17 to 19 November, with one question for the battery industry. What if every charging session could become a diagnostic session?
The question sounds simple. Behind it sits a gap that charging networks, fleets and the used EV market keep running into, usually at the moment a battery's condition decides a price, a contract or a safety call. The vehicle has an opinion about its own battery. Nobody else has a reading of their own.
This post explains what BatteryPulse™ is, why we built it around that question, what each part of the product family does, and who we want to meet at Slush.
What a vehicle does not tell you about its battery
An electric vehicle talks about its battery through the CAN bus. The battery management system, the BMS, sits inside the pack, and whatever the pack has to say reaches the outside world through that channel. Service tools, telematics boxes and most diagnostic apps read the same stream.
That stream is useful, and BatteryPulse™ uses it too. But it is a report written by the vehicle about itself. It carries the signals the manufacturer chose to publish, at the resolution the manufacturer chose, with a state of health figure from the manufacturer's own model. Whatever that model gets wrong, the number inherits.
For the driver, that is usually enough. For a buyer, an insurer, a charging operator or a fleet manager about to make a decision, it often is not. They need a reading they do not have to take on trust, and today that reading is missing or unverified.
One charging session can be a diagnosis
A charging session is one of the few moments when a battery is pushed and watched at the same time. Current flows in, voltage moves, temperature shifts, and the pack shows how it responds. Most of that response is never kept.
BatteryPulse™ starts from that observation. It is an AI battery data platform with its own measurement hardware, built to see what a vehicle does not report about its own battery. The driver plugs in as usual. The session becomes a data point, and the data points build into a record of how that particular battery is aging.
From that record, the platform is built to produce three things:
- A clear read on battery health. Not a single number handed down by the vehicle, but a picture built from what the battery did while charging, session after session.
- Early warning of risk. Degradation and thermal trouble tend to leave traces before they become incidents. Catching those traces early is the difference between a scheduled check and a tow truck.
- Battery big data. Every session adds to a dataset that charging networks, fleets and the used EV market can analyze and monetize.
The third item is the one people underestimate. Health and risk are what each operator wants for its own batteries. The dataset is what the whole market lacks.
Core, Probe and Guard each do one job
BatteryPulse™ is a product family, not a single box. We split it into three parts because the people who need battery data do not all sit in the same place or own the same hardware.
- Core. The analytics engine. Core takes battery data from any source, a charger, a BMS, a telematics feed or a lab file, and turns it into analytics and intelligence. Core is where the AI lives and where the dataset grows with every session.
- Probe. Optional physical measurement, for the moments when a verified reading matters more than a reported one. Probe is not an OBD reader and not a CAN sniffer. It takes its own reading from the battery instead of asking the vehicle for its opinion.
- Guard. BMS software for early warning of thermal risk. Guard is built for vehicles and for energy storage, where a pack drifting quietly toward trouble is a problem nobody sees until it is expensive.
The split lets an operator start with Core on data it already has, add Probe where it needs proof, and run Guard where safety is the question. Each part is designed to be useful alone. Together they feed the same dataset.
The dataset is the asset
Hardware gets copied and algorithms get improved. A record of how real batteries behave over years of charging is much harder to replace, because the only way to build it is to be there when the sessions happen.
That is why BatteryPulse™ is built around one growing battery dataset rather than a separate store per site or per partner. A battery in a depot and a battery at a public charger are described in the same terms, so the record stays comparable as it grows.
The dataset can leave the platform in several forms. A report on a single battery or a whole fleet. A certificate stating a battery's condition when it changes hands. An API that lets a partner's software ask questions directly, or a SaaS layer for operators who want the dashboards without the plumbing. The form changes with the partner; the underlying asset is the same.
The know-how is older than the product
BatteryPulse™ is new. The understanding behind it is not. Mustafa Şimşek has worked in electrification and batteries since 2009, in Türkiye, across Europe and in Southeast Asia, and the product carries what that work taught him about where battery data goes missing and who pays when it does.
That experience shaped a few decisions. Core accepts data from any source because no two operators have the same instrumentation. Probe exists because there are moments when nobody will accept a reported figure. Guard covers energy storage as well as vehicles because the same cells end up in both.
Patent applications for BatteryPulse™ have been filed in Türkiye. Slush is where we want to put that thinking in front of the people it was built for.
Who we want to meet in Helsinki
Slush week fills a calendar fast, so we want to be specific about who we are looking for.
First, investors working at the intersection of AI, deep tech and energy. BatteryPulse™ sits on that line. It is a data and AI business with its own hardware, and it serves the energy transition at the point where electricity meets a battery. Investors who already think across all three will recognize the model quickly.
Second, potential pilot partners. What these groups share is that each makes decisions about batteries every day, with data that is missing or that nobody has verified:
- Charging networks. Every session through a charger is a diagnostic opportunity, and today most of it goes unused.
- Fleets. Depot operators need to know which packs are aging fast, which are safe to keep and when to rotate.
- Used EV buyers and sellers. A used electric vehicle is priced on its battery, and the battery is the one part nobody can inspect by eye.
- Insurers. Underwriting a battery without knowing its condition means pricing the risk blind.
- Leasing companies. Residual value at the end of a contract depends on a battery the lessor has not seen for years.
- Second life and recycling. Deciding whether a retired pack goes to storage or to recovery needs a condition reading, not a guess.
- Energy storage operators. Stationary packs run for years with few people looking at them, and thermal risk rarely announces itself.
If you work in one of these areas and have been living with the gap we describe, we would like to compare notes.
What eMOBINO does, and how to reach us
eMOBINO is a deep-tech company for electric vehicles, batteries and energy storage, with its R&D hub in Bursa, Türkiye. We do product development and engineering, and BatteryPulse™ is where that work comes together around data.
Mustafa Şimşek will be in Helsinki for Slush week, 17 to 19 November. If you are at Slush, send a meeting request through the Slush app or message him there; he would rather have this conversation in person. If you are not, write to info@emobino.com and we will set up a call. The product page is at emobino.com/batterypulse.
