Every autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) design involves a trade‑off among endurance, payload, and available space. The battery pack sits right at the center of that trade‑off. Engineers often search for “ASV battery,” “USV power system,” “14.8V Li-ion battery pack,” or “high-capacity marine battery.” They are almost always trying to solve the same problem: fitting enough […]
A solar garden light battery endures a tough life. It sits outside through rain, frost, and summer heat. It charges daily from a small solar panel. And it must power lights every night for years—all without any maintenance. This challenge is fundamentally a power system design problem, not merely a bill-of-materials exercise. For this reason, […]
The global renewable energy industry is growing rapidly, and solar power plants are being developed in more regions around the world. As solar farms become larger and more advanced, construction teams face increasing challenges during installation, testing, and commissioning. One important challenge is providing reliable temporary power before the permanent electrical system is fully operational. […]
As the demand for lithium batteries continues to grow around the world, more battery systems are being used in electric vehicles, RVs, marine equipment, solar energy storage systems, telecommunications, and other outdoor applications. Many of these applications must operate throughout the winter, where temperatures can remain below freezing for long periods. Under these conditions, one […]
When a snow measurement station goes up on an exposed mountain ridge, its battery must survive harsh conditions. Most electronics were never built for such extremes. Sub‑zero winds, months of weak sunlight, and no technician within reach for years all place the burden on one component. That component is the power source. This is exactly […]
By Dawn • Battery Engineer, Safety & Compliance • Himax Electronics • July 2026 Topics: Medical Battery Pack / Li-ion Safety / BMS / IEC 62133 / Custom Pack Development Designing a medical device battery pack 25.2V requires more than just picking cells and wiring them together. When a medical device team reaches out about a […]
As industries continue to develop smarter and more advanced products, battery requirements are becoming increasingly specialized. Whether the application is a medical device, an industrial robot, an AGV, a solar energy storage system, or underwater monitoring equipment, every product requires a battery that matches its specific operating conditions. A standard battery is often unable to […]
As the summer of 2026 brings record-breaking temperatures to many parts of the world, reliable electricity has become more important than ever. Extreme heat, aging power infrastructure, and increasingly unpredictable weather are putting tremendous pressure on electrical grids. As a result, power outages are becoming more frequent in many countries, affecting millions of households and […]
