Nordic Semiconductor, a global leader in low-power wireless connectivity solutions, today announced a significant update to its high-accuracy, software-based battery management solution for its award-winning nPM1300 and nPM1304 power management ICs: Nordic Fuel Gauge v2.0. The announcement was made at Embedded World 2026.

This update extends advanced battery management to a wide range of power-constrained IoT products by adding advanced State-of-Health (SoH) estimation, adaptive battery modeling, and long-term fleet analysis capabilities.

Nordic Fuel Gauge v2.0 helps manufacturers develop more reliable, sustainable, and longer-lasting products, while also enabling compliance with newly strengthened battery replacement regulations. This includes the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542), which mandates that batteries must be easily removable and replaceable by the end-user at any point during the product’s lifetime. This announcement allows manufacturers to appropriately determine when batteries need replacing, supporting the ‘Right to Repair’, improving product reliability, and reducing warranty costs.

“Battery behavior in the real world rarely matches lab measurements. Fuel Gauge v2.0 brings adaptive, real-world intelligence to the IoT space, previously only available in high-end consumer equipment. This will be a game-changer for billions of battery-powered devices,” says Geir Kjosavik, PMIC Product Director at Nordic Semiconductor.

Fleet-wide Battery Intelligence via nRF Cloud with Memfault Integration Fuel Gauge v2.0 seamlessly integrates with Nordic’s cloud lifecycle service, nRF Cloud powered by Memfault. Devices can automatically report their battery State-of-Health (SoH), State-of-Charge (SoC), and various performance metrics without requiring manufacturers to build their own cloud infrastructure. This allows engineering and operations teams to monitor the battery status of their entire fleet, detect anomalies, optimize charging parameters, and
