Meet ZERO
A sustainable, scalable, and customizable power system designed to evolve with its users
What is ZERO?
ZERO is a locally made 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 Pillars
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

Founder Quote
“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.”
