Mobile Power (MOPO)

Mobile Power is commercialising its next generation of smart battery systems for off-grid and weak-grid customers across sub-Saharan Africa. The project will advance MOPO Duo for electric two-wheelers, MOPO Plus for permanent household and business power, and the supporting MOPO Grid architecture. Its ‘dumb rack, smart battery’ design places bidirectional power-management intelligence inside each battery, simplifying charging hubs and enabling batteries to manage charging, solar integration and load balancing. Working with the University of Sheffield and MOPO’s African operations, the project will optimise the system and test lithium iron phosphate and sodium-ion batteries under real-world tropical conditions.
