As with all major life situations, backup plans are essential. But in the wake of a power failure at home, why don’t you have a go-to backup?

Smaller, lighter portable batteries are the new arms race. Soon public buses and freight trucks will be electric and autonomous. Our mobile devices are getting more powerful and power-hungry. Robots are slowly taking our jobs. And drones will soon be zinging through our skies delivering everything from Amazon orders to prescriptions. All those things need electrical power to run. We should presumably be able to generate that energy from the sun and […]

Almost every automobile owner has had to suffer through a dead battery at least once.
