LIBER

What LIBER does

LiBER is an Italian private battery technology company that designs and manufactures modular lithium-ion battery packs built around a standardized "brick" architecture. Founded in 2021 as a spin-off from the University of Bologna, the company sells configurable LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) and NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) modules — ranging from 5.85 kWh bricks to high-voltage packs up to approximately 600 kWh at 900V — for industrial stationary storage, light electric mobility (e-scooters, e-bikes, motorcycles, microcars), and specialized transport applications (RVs, marine, forklifts). Its technology stack combines composite-material containers, laser tab-to-cell welding, 100% cell-level temperature monitoring, injection-molded internal parts, on-module control/protection, a wiring-harness-free design, and cloud-based asset management for diagnosis and e-certification.

The company operates a direct, consultative B2B sales model in which every product is custom-configured and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) hardware sales of modular battery packs and modules, and (2) professional services for battery diagnosis, testing, repair, recelling, balancing, and regeneration of large-format LiFePO4 systems. Manufacturing is carried out at the company's Bologna facility, which runs a pilot line (up to 10 MWh/year) and a robotized production line (up to 80 MWh/year). The technology is patented and certified to IEC62619, and the company has relationships with the University of Bologna (as founding institution) and the Regione Emilia Romagna (as a PR FESR grant provider).

Core offering

LIBER designs and manufactures modular lithium-ion battery packs using LFP and NMC chemistries for industrial, electric mobility (including off-highway vehicles), and stationary storage applications. Its core technology is a "Brick Design" modular architecture in which low-voltage modules (e.g. LFP220-2P8S, LFP230-2P4S, LFP LV Module, NMC LV Module, NMC HV Module) can be combined into higher-voltage battery packs, supported by a manufacturing capability spanning a 10 MWh pilot line and an 80 MWh robotized production line.

Product overview

LIBER offers a modular battery pack system built on standardized brick and module architecture. The product portfolio includes LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) and NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) battery modules in both low voltage (LV) and high voltage (HV) configurations. The Long Module (LFP220-2P8S, 16-cell) and Short Module (LFP230-2P4S, 8-cell) form the LFP offerings, while NMC modules come in HESP and SEHP variants. These modules can be combined into larger battery packs (up to ~600kWh for HV systems). Supporting services include battery diagnosis, repair, recelling, and regeneration for electric vehicles and industrial applications. Manufacturing capabilities include a pilot line (up to 10MWh/year) and a robotized production line (up to 80MWh/year) located in Bologna, Italy. The technology features composite material containers, laser tab-to-cell welding, 100% cell temperature measurement, and AI/cloud-enabled asset management.
