Sodium-Ion Battery Second Life and Repurposing
I have spent fifteen years testing lithium packs, and most of what I believed about retired batteries had to be rewritten the first time I graded a batch o…
Semi-Solid State Battery Design for Storage: Eight-Hour
I have spent the better part of the last six years specifying packs that never move. That sounds boring until you realise that a stationary asset has to ea…
Sodium-Ion Battery Testing for Microgrids: Grid-Forming
Over the last four years I have commissioned and validated more than thirty microgrid energy storage systems, and roughly half of the newer builds now use…
Semi-Solid State Battery Design for Storage: Rack-Scale
Six months ago I stood in front of a 20-foot container that was supposed to be our flagship semi-solid state storage product, and the thermal imagery told…
Semi-Solid State Battery Maintenance for Storage
I’m Karl Huang, a senior lithium battery engineer who has spent the last decade commissioning and servicing stationary energy storage fleets. Half of my se…
Sodium-Ion Battery Performance for Backup Power
When a grid outage hits a small clinic, a rural telecom tower, or a neighborhood convenience store, the difference between an inconvenience and a real emer…
