We are delighted to unveil a limited edition collaboration that combines performance and respect for the environment: the eco-designed G-Heat x VoltR battery. A revolution in the world of heated clothing that makes no compromise between sustainability and efficiency.
VoltR: The French expert in eco-designed batteries
VoltR is the story of four visionary entrepreneurs who reinvented the lithium battery. Their concept? Batteries manufactured in France from second-life cells, known as “remanufactured,” offering the same performance as new batteries, but with a significantly reduced environmental impact. VoltR is committed to a circular economy approach in Europe, extending the life of batteries while reducing the exploitation of precious resources such as lithium and cobalt.
A limited edition that makes a difference
At G-Heat, we have always put innovation at the service of warmth and comfort. With VoltR, we are going even further. Together, we are launching a battery specially designed for our heated clothing, in line with our shared values: innovation, performance, and a responsible approach to the environment. This unique collaboration marks a turning point for us and our users, offering a more sustainable solution without compromising on excellence.
Batteries made in France to reduce our footprint
These batteries are produced in France, near Angers. They are a local alternative to batteries that are usually sourced from Asia. The batteries do not need to travel across the globe to reach our heated clothing, which reduces emissions linked to the transport of goods.
Technology that benefits the environment
VoltR has perfected a technology that gives battery cells a second, even a third life. These cells, which are the most polluting part of a battery, are reused in new batteries without sacrificing their energy efficiency. The result? Fewer resources extracted, less waste, and the same performance.
A word from VoltR
“We are proud to equip G-Heat's heated clothing with our eco-designed batteries. This collaboration proves that it is possible to combine resource reuse and performance. We hope that G-Heat users will appreciate this innovation made in France, which is more respectful of our planet.”
– Camille Bouget, Marketing Manager, VoltR
Uncompromising performance
Our eco-designed batteries are just as powerful and durable as those made from new raw materials. They guarantee our customers constant warmth and optimal comfort, even in the most extreme conditions. This collaboration is proof that innovation and ecology can go hand in hand.
How does it work?
The secret lies in the “performance ladder principle”: VoltR reallocates cells from batteries in devices that require higher performance to batteries in devices with lower performance requirements. This is how battery cells from bicycles at the end of their first life can perfectly meet the specifications of a new battery for heated clothing. An ingenious solution that allows for the manufacture of more eco-friendly batteries without compromising on performance.
These cells are the main source of batteries' carbon footprint, mainly due to the precious metals they contain, such as lithium and cobalt. By giving them a second life, VoltR helps to:
- reduce intensive mining,
- significantly lower the carbon footprint,
- and limit waste production.
Serge Fortini, journalist and influencer, tested the VoltR battery—and it's approved!
