The Battery Testing Mentor

The Battery Testing Mentor Podcast talks about battery handling and battery testing. The goal of this podcast is to provide you with recommendations and learnings that help you in your work with batteries. Topics like battery function, safety, handling, and test strategies will all be in this podcast. In addition, I plan interviews with people who develop batteries to share firsthand what is essential. This should be short, packed with knowledge, and actionable advice, and not just small talk. Episodes will be around 15 minutes max, and you can get a summary of everything that was discussed wi...
