SAE Battery Standards Committee, Robert Galyen

One solution in reducing carbon footprint is via the electrification of the transportation sector. It is this emphasis of electrification that is driving the need for higher energy and power density batteries for storing energy whether for traction drive or handling auxiliary loads. With these higher energy and power storage devices comes new technology challenges which must be addressed. These new challenges, along with maintaining the past and present battery technology standards, is the essence of this newly formed Battery Standards Committee.
