Sodium-Ion Battery Design for Microgrids
I have spent the last eleven years designing battery systems, and the projects that taught me the most were not the elegant ones. They were the rural micro…
Battery Solution Safety for Robotics
I have spent the last eleven years designing lithium battery packs for industrial equipment, and the robotics programmes are the ones that keep me up at ni…
Semi-Solid State Battery Reliability for EV Packs (Guide)
When an OEM qualifies a new cell chemistry, the lab cycle-life number is the easy part. The hard part — and the part that actually decides warranty cost, b…
Drone Battery Reliability for Mapping UAVs: Engineering (3)
When a mapping UAV loses power at 120 meters, it rarely loses just the aircraft. It loses the orthomosaic you were building, the ground-control points you…

Battery Solution Manufacturing for Robotics
I have spent the better part of fifteen years standing next to pack assembly lines, and the pattern in robotics is always the same: the electrical design p…
Sodium-Ion Battery Reliability for Microgrids: A
When a microgrid owner asks me how reliable a sodium-ion battery bank will be over its ten-year life, my honest answer is that reliability is not a proper…
Battery Solution Testing for Robotics: DVP&R, Duty-Cycle
When a robotics customer tells me their packs “passed all the battery tests” and then reports units dropping offline at 60% state of charge on the night sh…
