Battery Solution Reliability for Vehicles
When a fleet manager calls me about a failing pack, the problem is almost never the cells. After fourteen years building energy storage systems, I have lea…
Battery Solution Reliability for Sensors: Engineering
When a battery solution powers a sensor, it is usually the only part of the system nobody ever visits. A temperature node on a pipeline, a vibration probe…
Battery Solution Performance for Equipment
When a procurement manager tells me they need a “high-performance battery,” I have learned to pause. Performance is not a single number. For equipment it i…

Why Vehicle Battery Performance Is a System Problem, Not a Cell Problem
When a customer asks me to improve battery solution performance for vehicles, the f…
Battery Solution Performance for Sensors
I have spent the better part of fifteen years on the factory floor and in the field specifying power systems for things that are meant to be forgotten. A d…
Battery Solution Deployment for Robotics: From Pilot Line
Introduction
When a client signs off on a robotics battery on paper, the hard part has barely begun. I am Karl Huang, Senior Lithium Battery Engineer at Ho…
Battery Solution Integration for Robotics
I have lost count of how many robotics programs I have joined at the point where the cells were already chosen, the capacity was already approved, and the…
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…
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…
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…
