Lithium Battery for Medical Carts and Hospital Equipment
When a clinical floor manager asks me to size a lithium battery for medical carts and hospital equipment, the conversation never starts with energy density…
Battery Solution for Autonomous Mobile Inspection Robots
I have spent the last decade specifying cells and packs for machines that are expected to work the night shift without a driver, and autonomous inspection…
Battery Solution for Smart Metering and AMI Networks
When a utility wants to cut truck rolls by 80% and turn a 10-million-meter fleet into a remotely managed endpoint grid, every node becomes only as reliabl…
Lithium Battery Testing for Power Tools: Pulse-Current
In eleven years of designing and validating lithium battery packs for cordless tools, I have watched more projects fail at the validation bench than at the…
Sodium-Ion Battery Design for Street Lights: Off-Grid
Twelve years into designing lithium battery packs for outdoor deployments, I assumed the first truly large sodium-ion fleet I would touch would be a contai…
Semi-Solid State Battery for High Altitude Platforms
I have spent the last four years building lithium battery packs for aircraft that never land. Not passenger jets — high altitude platform stations (HAPS):…
Battery Solution for Emergency Response Command Vehicles
Most of the “battery solution” articles I have written for our customers begin with a kWh budget, a duty-cycle table, and a chemistry choice. The ones I g…
Semi-Solid State Battery Testing for EV Packs: High-Voltage
I have spent the last four years running validation campaigns on semi-solid state cells that were destined for electric vehicle traction packs, and the sin…
