            <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. Robert outlines the situations where batteries should kick in — including:Boost charging when multiple high-power EV sessions overlapPeak shaving to avoid grid overload or excessive demand chargesSupporting the site when local conditions exceed grid limitsThis highlight gives CPOs clarity on what batteries can realistically do today, and why understanding response time is key when evaluating flexibility and revenue potential.&#127891; Watch the full Masterclass:&#128073; https://www.flexecharge.com/resources/webinars/the-power-of-co-located-batteries-unlocking-the-full-revenue-potential</itunes:summary>
