Battery Solution Testing for Robotics: HIL Duty-Cycle
What a “Robotics-Grade” Battery Solution Actually Has to Survive
Most cell datasheets are written for either handheld electronics or electric vehicles, so…
Battery Solution Design for Equipment: Enclosure IP
Equipment battery packs fail in the field for reasons that almost never show up on a single-cell datasheet. Over the last eight years of designing batter…
Battery Solution Cost Optimization for Vehicles: Fleet TCO
# Battery Solution Cost Optimization for Vehicles: Fleet TCO Modeling, Pack Right-Sizing, and Second-Life Residual Value
If you are a fleet manager, an en…
Battery Solution Reliability for Sensors: Remote Monitoring
Hi, I’m Karl Huang, a senior lithium battery engineer at Horizon Power. Over the last eight years I have shipped tens of thousands of custom battery soluti…
Battery Solution Performance for Robotics: Duty-Cycle,
When an autonomous mobile robot, an AGV, or a collaborative arm loses its shift to a low state-of-charge cutoff in the middle of a tote transfer, the root…
Battery Solution Deployment for Robotics: An Engineer’s
Why a “battery solution deployment robotics” rollout is its own engineering discipline
I have spent the last nine years watching robotics fleets go from a…
Battery Solution Integration for Equipment: An Engineer’ (2)
When a finished battery solution leaves the bench and lands inside a host machine, the work is not over. Integration is where a pack that survived 200 cycl…
Battery Solution Safety for Vehicles: An Engineer’s (2)
I have spent fifteen years signing off on traction packs, and the pattern is always the same: the pack that fails in the field was never killed by one dram…
Battery Solution Manufacturing for Sensors: An Engineer’ (2)
I have spent the better part of a decade on production lines for industrial IoT, and the hardest lesson is counterintuitive: a sensor battery almost never…
Battery Solution Testing for Robotics: An Engineer’s
A mobile robot that drops out of a customer demo is rarely the controller’s fault. After roughly nine years of testing custom battery solutions for industr…
