Batteries - how to make them last longer

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 19 February 2025

From massive power grids to tiny medical implants that keep our hearts beating, batteries are the backbone of modern technology.

But how do we ensure they remain reliable, efficient and long-lasting?

A research team at the University of Waikato's Battery Group has developed advanced technology to improve the way we monitor battery health and charge states - an innovation that could have wide-ranging impacts across multiple industries.

Leading the application of this breakthrough is seasoned engineer and business strategist Godfey Bridger who joins Jesse to discuss how batteries work and how to make them last longer.

Godfrey Bridger's live webinar on Battery Management Improvement is on tonight thanks to ESR, Engineers for Social Responsibility. Watch it here.
