Battery as a Service
Simplifying Electrification through Subscription.
3min Go! — Accelerating Electrification of Small Mobility
A subscription for bikes, batteries, and energy with 3-minute charging
Thailand has about 21 million registered motorcycles, yet very few are electric. The main barriers are the short lifespan of conventional lithium-ion batteries in hot climates and long charging times.
Since 2024, Naturenix has been running pilots aimed at commercialization, and in 2025 we are moving into a larger second phase with expanded fleet size.
Our direct charging approach uses Japanese-made cells with a flawless safety record, enabling charging in as little as three minutes. Unlike battery-swapping models, our system allows safe charging while the pack remains mounted on the vehicle—just like refueling at a gas station.
Because no spare batteries need to be pooled and redistributed, costly infrastructure and logistics complexity are eliminated. Furthermore, our patented AmpDrive technology enables rapid charging even from common single-phase outlets. We plan to launch service in Bangkok in 2026 at less than half of today’s prevailing cost.
Recharge forklift batteries in as little as 15 minutes
Forklifts have traditionally relied on lead-acid batteries, which require more than 8 hours of charging. This forced operators to maintain spare forklifts or spare batteries to keep operations running.
Even when replaced by lithium chemistries such as LFP, output characteristics still demanded oversized battery packs to drive large motors efficiently.
With Naturenix’s battery systems, pack size can be reduced by up to one-eighth, and charging can be completed in around 15 minutes. This not only saves electricity through system-wide efficiency but also optimizes CO₂ emissions over long-term use.
Frequent, high C-rate charge/discharge from compact packs requires advanced thermal management to prevent degradation. Naturenix is filing related patents in this field.
We completed our Phase 1 pilot in May 2025 and are now entering Phase 2 toward mass production. Commercial launch is scheduled within 2025.
Naturenix’s mission is simple: Power the World.
We are a startup dedicated to delivering energy access worldwide, built on proprietary long-life battery technology and ultra-fast charging.
By developing next-generation energy platforms, we aim to expand sustainable energy use globally.
Leveraging dynamic real-world battery data and AI-driven analytics, we promote open innovation, accurately monitor degradation, and secure asset value—enabling long-term use across multiple applications.
Our ultra-fast charging service, 3minGo!™, allows charging in as little as three minutes, dramatically enhancing convenience across mobility, energy storage, and beyond.
Long-life Battery Packs — Over 20,000 Cycles Even at 55°C
In our recent pilot for motorcycle batteries in Bangkok, pack temperatures were more than 10°C higher than ambient, peaking above 50°C.
Conventional LFP cells, though lasting thousands of cycles at 25°C, often degrade to only a few hundred cycles in such high-heat conditions.
By selecting optimal cells—such as Toshiba’s SCiB or AESC’s manganese-based lithium—and packaging them with Naturenix’s proprietary design, we can preserve longevity and enable ultra-fast charging even in hot, humid regions like Southeast Asia and India.
Connectors, semiconductors, and PCBs are designed to minimize heat, while our thermal management system optimally regulates what heat is generated.
Even at charging rates above 10C, degradation is kept to a minimum.
“A patent we obtained in 2013 became the starting point for Naturenix—joint research with Asahi Kasei on extending battery life.
We are building a future where nature and electronics coexist.”
Yasuki KanazawaCEO
Patented AmpDrive System for Ultra-Fast Charging
Rapid charging traditionally requires industrial three-phase power, as household single-phase lines are limited (e.g., 100V/15A).
Conventional lithium-ion cells can overheat or degrade rapidly under sudden high-current charging.
Naturenix developed the AmpDrive system to solve this challenge.
By combining grid power with energy stored in a buffer battery within the charger, AmpDrive releases power in an optimized burst—enabling rapid charging even from common single-phase outlets.
As simple as plugging in a vending machine, AmpDrive can deploy ultra-fast charging networks at dramatically lower infrastructure cost.
Lower charger and installation costs accelerate adoption.
“Battery swapping is common in many countries, but requires spare packs, three-phase power, and costly site construction.
Utilization imbalances force manual redistribution of batteries.
Our mission is to make infrastructure simple and low-cost—this challenge has only just begun.”

Convenience Comparable to Refueling — 3min Go!
For small mobility, charging a conventional lithium-ion battery typically takes 1–3 hours.
A common workaround is to slowly charge spare packs and swap them when depleted.
However, lifting and swapping 10+ kg packs every few dozen kilometers is heavy work.
High-voltage EV architectures used in passenger cars are difficult to implement in small vehicles, limiting fast charging.
Naturenix challenged conventional power electronics by establishing a low-voltage, high-current technology that enables rapid charging for even low-voltage batteries.
“Since filing our first 3-minute charging patent in 2018, we have advanced multiple patents, including on connectors and thermal management.”

Applications
Use Cases
naturenix technology can be applied across multiple sectors. Leveraging Southeast Asian supply chains, we deliver cost-efficient systems, and offer original battery solutions through rental and leasing models.
Electric Motorcycles
Launch product for 3minGo! No need to swap heavy packs—simply plug in for a full charge in 3 minutes, just like an EV.
Small Mobility
Applicable to three-wheelers and micro four-wheelers. From last-mile delivery to community buses, expanding accessibility and efficiency.
Logistics Equipment
From AGVs/AMRs to forklifts. Subscription service launching in Thailand in FY2025. Charging times reduced from 8–12 hours with lead-acid to just tens of minutes.
