Battery Solution Design for Equipment: An Engineer’s
If a customer calls me with a stack of drawings and says “design a battery for this machine”, the first thing I do is put the drawings down and ask three q…
Battery Solution Cost Optimization for Commercial Vehicles
Most vehicle electrification programs I review lose money in the same place: the battery solution. The cell price on the quote looks competitive, but the s…
Battery Solution Reliability for Sensors: How I Specify
Seven years ago I stood on a ridge in Inner Mongolia looking at a weather station that had gone dark for the third time in eighteen months. The anemomete…
Battery Solution Performance for Robotics: A Senior
I am Karl Huang, Senior Lithium Battery Engineer at Horizon Power. Over the last decade I have specified, built and torn down battery solution designs for…
Battery Solution Maintenance for Equipment
Maintenance is where most battery programmes quietly lose their money. I have spent more than a decade designing and field-supporting custom lithium batter…
Battery Solution Maintenance for Vehicles
I have spent enough time under vehicles and enough time in cell labs to know that most fleet battery failures are not chemistry failures. They are mainte…
Battery Solution Maintenance for Sensors
Introduction
The first sensor network I was asked to keep running had eleven hundred nodes on a pipeline right-of-way and a maintenance plan that consiste…
Battery Solution Maintenance for Robotics
I have spent a large part of the last decade on the unglamorous side of robotics: not the launch, not the demo, but month fourteen, when a fleet of 120 a…
Battery Solution Deployment for Equipment
I have spent enough nights in equipment yards with a cold torque wrench in my hand to know a simple truth: a custom battery program rarely fails in the des…
Battery Solution Deployment for Vehicles
I am Karl Huang, Senior Lithium Battery Engineer at Horizon Power, and over the last decade I have spent a surprising amount of my life in vehicle depots r…
