Semi-Solid State Battery Cost Optimization for Robotics (4)
After eleven years of designing lithium battery packs for warehouse robots, I have learned that the bill of materials is rarely where the money is lost. Th…
Lithium Battery Testing for Power Tools: Drop and Ingress
I have run a 21700 cordless-tool pack through the same gauntlet for seven years now, and every facility I visit still finds the same surprise: the cell che…
Sodium-Ion Battery Design for Street Lights: Cold-Start
I still remember the first time I pulled a failed lead-acid brick out of a street-light pole in Tianjin, twenty-three years ago. The acid had wicked up the…
Battery Solution Cost Optimization for Vehicles (2)
I have spent the last six years helping fleet operators turn a battery from a mysterious black box into a line item they can defend in front of a CFO. The…
Sodium-Ion Battery Cost Optimization for Forklifts (3)
Walk into a 250,000-square-foot distribution center at 2 a.m. and you can still hear the hydraulic whine of pallet jacks and the click of a battery-room wa…
Lithium Battery Design for Mobility Devices: IP-Rated
Why mobility-device battery design is its own engineering disciplineI have spent the last decade designing lithium battery packs for power-assist wheelchai…
Semi-Solid State Battery Performance for EV Packs (2)
I have spent the last three years taking semi-solid state battery packs from engineering samples to series production on three EV programmes, and the mos…
Battery Solution Reliability for Sensors: LoRaWAN
I have been specifying remote sensor packs for nearly a decade, and the failure modes I see in the field almost never match what the datasheet predicts. T…
Home Energy Storage Testing for Apartments: Shared-Corridor
Why Apartment Energy Storage Testing Demands a Different Playbook
I spend most of my week inside Horizon Power’s test hall, but a growing share of the pr…
Battery Solution Performance for Robotics (2)
Most of the conversations we get about battery solution performance for robotics start with the wrong question. A buyer sends us a nameplate capacity, asks…
