What cellavie does

Cellavie B.V. is a privately held Belgian company, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Bruges, that designs and manufactures regenerative battery discharge systems for the lithium-ion battery recycling industry. Its core technology uses Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductor power conversion to take DC energy stored in EV and stationary battery (BESS) packs and feed it back to the AC electrical grid, achieving up to 96% peak efficiency versus traditional resistive or liquid discharge methods that waste energy as heat or generate environmental liabilities. The product portfolio comprises two lines: the RE-GEN 50/75/90 industrial systems (50 kW, 75 kW, 90 kW configurations handling up to 950V down to 0V and discharge currents up to 220A, with integrated FLIR AX8 thermal imaging and automatic power adjustment), and the RE-GEN 2 module discharge system (2 kW building blocks covering 0–100V, scalable up to 24 units networked via CANbus to a single host).

Cellavie sells directly to enterprise customers — battery recyclers, dismantlers, logistics operators, and repair/QC shops — through a quote-based direct sales motion conducted via its website contact form and email. Pricing is custom per configuration and undisclosed publicly; billing cadence is structured as multi-year contracts. The company lists three reference customers on its website: Circuli, Bebat, and Sortbat, all Belgian battery recycling operators. Sales enablement is built on educational content marketing (company blog, LinkedIn) targeting the EV battery end-of-life value chain.

The company is founder-led by Anthony Ferrando (Founder & CEO) with a four-person leadership team including a COO (Hannes D'Hulster), Director of Communications (Emma Beuckels), and Software Developer (David Adrião). It is a member of the European Battery Alliance, Battereverse, and Brugge.inc, and receives non-dilutive innovation funding from VLAIO (Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship). Operating geographies are limited to Belgium and select European markets, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding rounds.

Core offering

Cellavie designs, manufactures, and sells the RE-GEN series of regenerative deep-discharge systems for lithium-ion batteries. The RE-GEN 50/75/90 (50–90 kW) line processes full EV and BESS battery packs from 950V down to 0V, while the RE-GEN 2 modular line (2 kW building blocks, 0–100V) handles individual modules and cells. Both product lines convert stored DC energy back into AC power and feed it to the facility's electrical grid at up to 96% peak efficiency, replacing traditional resistive or liquid discharge methods.

Product overview

Cellavie provides the RE-GEN series of regenerative battery discharge systems for the battery recycling industry. The portfolio consists of two core product lines: the RE-GEN 50/75/90 series for industrial-scale pack discharge (handling full EV batteries up to 950V), and the RE-GEN 2 for precision module discharge (0-100V range). Both systems utilize regenerative technology that converts stored battery energy back to the electrical grid rather than dissipating it as heat, achieving up to 96% efficiency. The systems integrate FLIR thermal imaging for safety monitoring and can be networked together for scalable throughput.

Products and services

• RE-GEN 50/75/90 Industrial-scale regenerative battery discharge system for EV and BESS battery packs. Available in 50 kW, 75 kW, and 90 kW configurations, it processes battery packs from 950V down to 0V with discharge current up to 220A, uses SiC semiconductor technology, integrates FLIR AX8 thermal imaging with automatic power adjustment, and feeds recovered energy back to the facility grid at up to 96% peak efficiency. Designed for battery recyclers, dismantlers, and logistics operators.
• RE-GEN 2 Modular regenerative discharge solution for draining individual battery modules and cells down to 0V. Built as 2 kW building blocks with a wide-band DC-DC converter handling 0–100V, communicating via CANbus for centralized monitoring. Up to 24 units can be networked per RE-GEN 75/90 (up to 12 per RE-GEN 50), achieving up to 92% peak efficiency while feeding recovered energy back to the grid. Designed for repair shops, quality-control operations, and pack-disassembly facilities.
