            <title>Why Most Batteries Can’t Join Reserve Markets- And What They Can Do Instead?</title>
            <link>http://video.flexecharge.com/why-most-batteries-cant-join</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this Masterclass highlight, &lt;strong&gt;Robert Brehm (CTO)&lt;/strong&gt; explains why most batteries are unable to participate in &lt;strong&gt;reserve markets&lt;/strong&gt; for high-power charging sites.&lt;br&gt;Products like &lt;strong&gt;FCR, FFR, and aFRR&lt;/strong&gt; require extremely fast response times that many co-located batteries simply cannot achieve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But while reserve markets are often out of reach, batteries remain highly valuable on site. Robert outlines the situations where batteries &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; kick in — including:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boost charging&lt;/strong&gt; when multiple high-power EV sessions overlap&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peak shaving&lt;/strong&gt; to avoid grid overload or excessive demand charges&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Supporting the site&lt;/strong&gt; when local conditions exceed grid limits&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This highlight gives CPOs clarity on what batteries can realistically do today, and why understanding &lt;strong&gt;response time&lt;/strong&gt; is key when evaluating flexibility and revenue potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#127891; &lt;strong&gt;Watch the full Masterclass:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#128073; &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.flexecharge.com/resources/webinars/the-power-of-co-located-batteries-unlocking-the-full-revenue-potential"&gt;https://www.flexecharge.com/resources/webinars/the-power-of-co-located-batteries-unlocking-the-full-revenue-potential&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.flexecharge.com/why-most-batteries-cant-join"&gt;&lt;img src="http://video.flexecharge.com/64968578/118901963/56d27cd867a1b53a508f1ab30474e90a/standard/download-14-thumbnail.jpg" width="75" height=""/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <itunes:summary>In this Masterclass highlight, Robert Brehm (CTO) explains why most batteries are unable to participate in reserve markets for high-power charging sites.Products like FCR, FFR, and aFRR require extremely fast response times that many co-located batteries simply cannot achieve.But while reserve markets are often out of reach, batteries remain highly valuable on site.

            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you using batteries only for peak shaving at your charging sites? That’s a great start—but it means your battery sits idle for 90% of the time. Join us on 19 November at 13:00 CET for “The Power of Co-Located Batteries: Unlocking the Full Revenue Potential”, a FLEXECHARGE Masterclass with Robert Brehm (CTO, FLEXECHARGE). In this session, Robert reveals how value stacking transforms battery energy storage systems (BESS) from cost-saving assets into profit engines. Learn how CPOs can use their co-located batteries for boost charging, grid balancing, and ancillary services—unlocking new revenue streams while supporting grid stability. ⚡ Reserve your spot for the Masterclass and discover how FLEXECHARGE enables smart, grid-supportive energy management. &#128279; Explore HARMON-E and our smart charging solutions for CPOs. &#128250; Subscribe for more EV charging insights and masterclasses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.flexecharge.com/the-power-of-co-located-batteries-1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://video.flexecharge.com/64968570/117981864/785dc2982762013cc8d3f884031d0524/standard/download-23-thumbnail.jpg" width="75" height=""/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
