Flux Power Advances Battery Safety and Fleet Intelligence with Three New Innovations
VISTA, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLUX) (Flux Power), a developer of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions and fleet intelligence technology, today announced three product innovations spanning battery safety, expanded material handing applications and connected fleet intelligence. Together, the launches reflect Flux Power’s execution of its strategy to expand the applications it serves, extend its fleet intelligence capabilities and create additional opportunities for growth across material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) markets through fiscal 2027 and beyond.
Developed in collaboration with customers and OEM partners, the innovations build upon Flux Power’s integrated portfolio of lithium-ion batteries, battery management systems and SkyEMS® fleet intelligence, creating more opportunities to serve customers across their operations.
Flux Power Adds Integrated Gas Detection to Airport GSE Batteries
Next-generation monitoring goes beyond industry requirements, adding another layer of protection to Flux Power’s proven battery safety architecture.
Flux Power is adding integrated gas detection to its airport GSE battery lines, the next evolution of the multi-layered safety design already built into every Flux Power battery. Going beyond what industry standards require, the sensor continuously monitors conditions inside the battery and communicates directly with Flux Power’s battery management system (BMS). If a potential thermal event is detected, the BMS can alert a CAN-integrated vehicle and automatically shut down power. On batteries equipped with SkyVOX telematics, events are also reported to SkyEMS for real-time visibility, giving operators and ground crews added confidence on busy ramps.
The solution was developed with a major airline and demonstrated at Flux Power’s Vista, California headquarters recently.
“Safety on the ramp is non-negotiable for our airline customers,” said Mark Barmettler, VP of Engineering at Flux Power. “Flux Power’s integrated gas detection gives operators an added layer of protection and real-time visibility, which we believe makes lithium an even easier decision for GSE fleets.”
Initial shipments are expected in the first quarter of calendar 2027, beginning with an airline end user customer. Flux Power is also planning to offer a retrofit program for batteries already in service.
New S24 Configurations Expand Fleet Opportunities
Flux Power continues to expand its flagship S-Series category with two new S24 configurations, giving OEM partners and national account customers one lithium-ion platform across more of their forklift applications:
The new configurations extend the S-Series beyond its core applications to additional truck models and equipment categories. For OEM partners, a broader S-Series means a qualified Flux Power lithium-ion option across more of their truck lineups, making it easier to specify Flux Power and support their dealer networks with a consistent solution.
For current and new customers, it means standardizing more of their fleet on a single battery platform, backed by SkyEMS fleet intelligence, and one service partner across their sites. Flux Power believes the new S24 configurations will increase its potential share of each customer’s fleet and build a broader foundation for potential future commercial growth.
SkyVOX Brings Battery Location and Charging Alerts to Fleets
SkyVOX extends Flux Power’s fleet intelligence capabilities with battery location and intelligent charging alerts. Fleet managers can quickly locate connected batteries and identify which units need charging, helping to reduce time spent searching for equipment and preventing batteries from reaching a low state of charge mid-shift.
The newest addition to the SkyVOX family introduces external cellular and GPS antennas mounted outside the battery enclosure, so signals aren’t blocked when the SkyVOX telemetry device sits deep inside a steel truck compartment. The result is consistent location tracking and reliable event reporting to SkyEMS, even in installations where internal-antenna telematics often lose connection.
Building on the recently launched SkyEMS® 3.0, SkyVOX further connects battery intelligence with day-to-day fleet operations. Industry research has found that locating and dispatching ground support equipment can take 14 minutes per flight, underscoring the opportunity for real-time battery visibility to help crews deploy equipment faster, improve fleet utilization and keep airport operations moving efficiently.
Shipments are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of calendar 2026.
“These innovations advance Flux Power’s growth strategy across three key areas: battery safety, fleet intelligence and expanded equipment applications,” said Krishna Vanka, Chief Executive Officer of Flux Power. “By solving more customer challenges and extending our technology across more of their operations, we believe we’re creating new opportunities to grow our addressable market, deepen customer relationships and strengthen Flux Power’s competitive position. These launches are part of a broader pipeline of innovation we’re planning to advance through fiscal 2027.”
