OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2024 / Braille Energy Systems Inc. (formerly Mincom Capital Inc.) (TSXV:BES) ("BESI" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following updates on its operations and business activities:
Braille Battery Inc.
BESI’s subsidiary Braille Battery Inc. (Sarasota, FL) reports that significant technical and operational requirements for expansion activities into European markets were completed in 2023 and revenue activities in the European market are now expected to begin with the spring/summer 2024 performance racing season. In the last few months of 2023, Braille Battery developed two new industry-leading battery capacity products designed to meet the needs of the important and growing powersports market. These products, which will be available to consumers starting in February 2024, broaden Braille’s product offering in this space and complement its successful G30H product. As these new higher capacity products provide a solution that is not currently available with lithium batteries, Braille expects them to be met with widespread demand in the US market.
Meanwhile, Braille’s G30H product has been selected and utilized by the factory race team for the largest powersports manufacturing company in the US.
"2023 was a dynamic year for Braille Battery as it focused on investments in operations and targeted new verticals, including the powersports market, and partnerships with OEMs," said Lindsay Weatherdon, President and CEO of BESI. "In addition, the company is in discussions with a number of organizations to provide contract manufacturing lithium battery solutions."

BESI’s ELECTRAFY RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BACK-UP POWER SYSTEM (Electrafy) is in the commercial selling phase, with active discussions taking place with key partners to bring Electrafy to the North American market. The company has achieved another milestone with its first test installation of an Electrafy System in a Canadian residence that was approved and certified by the local authorities.
"Having our first Electrafy System installed, operating, and approved by the authorities is a major accomplishment for our company and opens the door to expanding to other provincial jurisdictions and the US," said Mr. Weatherdon. "We are booking orders in Q1 ’24 for delivery in Q2 ’24."
Early Alerttm Lithium Battery Fire Detection System: Early Alert, formerly FireBulb, addresses the safety issues related to lithium battery fires that have caused widespread concern as the adoption of lithium battery technology grows. Early Alert is now in the final stages of its commercial development, and the Company plans to launch its first product focused on electric bikes and scooters by Fall 2024.
"Instances of E-bike and E-scooter lithium battery fires are well documented and, in some cases, have led to the destruction of property when stored and charged within homes and apartment buildings," said Mr. Weatherdon. "We are pleased that we will soon be able to offer a proven system that can detect potential fires related to these battery applications. We also plan to develop and launch additional versions of Early Alert for various other lithium battery applications, including industrial lithium battery applications, in the near future."
