ZERO Rules

A sustainable, scalable, and customizable
power system designed to evolve with its users

About ZERO

ZERO is a locally 3D printed portable power bank created by CTRL ENERGY that challenges the disposable electronics model.

Built around sustainability, modular expansion, scalability, and customization, ZERO is designed to be repaired, expanded, and personalized — instead of replaced.

Unlike sealed power banks, ZERO uses standard battery cells, magnetic add-ons, and a scalable architecture that lets users adapt the product to their needs over time.

Why ZERO Matters

Portable power banks are essential — and largely disposable. Batteries degrade, needs change, and most products end up unused or discarded.

ZERO introduces a different approach:

– Repair instead of replace
– Expand instead of upgrade
– Customize instead of standardize
– Manufacture locally instead of shipping globally

Key Pilars

Why ZERO is Different

Sustainability

  • Swappable standard lithium cells (non-proprietary)
  • Users reorder new cells via QR code to restore performance
  • Old cells are collected and recycled
  • 3D-printed and assembled locally to reduce waste and logistics footprint

Modularity

  • Two magnetic extension ports
  • Compatible with 20+ add-ons, including:
  • Extended outputs
  • Panel lights
  • Flashlights
  • Add-ons are co-developed with the community

Scalability

  • Extension ports allow 2 to 5 ZERO units to connect
  • Transforms individual power banks into a compact power station
  • Suitable for travel, remote work, and outdoor setups

Customization

  • 3D printing enables 20+ color and design combinations
  • Users personalize appearance without compromising performance

Who It’s For

  • Commuters & travelers

  • Digital nomads & remote workers

  • Eco-conscious consumers

  • Tech and hardware enthusiasts

  • Users tired of disposable power accessories

Who It’s NOT For

  • People who love proprietary closed systems, and non upgradable tech.

  • People who think it’s cool to buy cheap powerbanks and throw them every 2 years

  • People who think that planned obsolescence is a fringe theory 🙄

“Most power banks are sealed products designed to be replaced. ZERO was designed to adapt to new needs, new uses, and longer lifespans. Portable power shouldn’t become waste.”
