Ola Electric on Friday said it has secured the Bureau of Indian Standards certification and licence for Ola Shakti in a 6kW/9.1 kWh battery pack powered by 4680 Bharat Cell. Ola Shakti is the country's first residential BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) solution, which is designed, engineered, and manufactured in India. As part of this certification, Shakti underwent a comprehensive set of electrical and mechanical safety-critical tests, including short-circuit and overload protection, safeguards against fire and thermal hazards and protection from electric shock, the Bengaluru-based company said in a statement.
It also underwent environmental stress testing, sonic pressure hazard evaluation, mechanical hazard assessment, and other applicable tests in accordance with BIS standards, it added.
"With the BIS certification of Shakti 9.1kWh, we are ready to deliver our first residential BESS units. This is an important step in our journey as we reimagine how India will store and consume energy," a company spokesperson said.
Ola Shakti brings dependable, affordable, and smart energy storage to homes, farms, and businesses across the country, the spokesperson added.
"More than a product, it is a cornerstone of India's journey toward energy self-reliance and a future driven by clean, decentralised, and on-demand power," the spokesperson said.
Ola Shakti delivers automotive-grade safety, high efficiency, and zero running and maintenance costs.
