No one teaches you how to network at conferences. Most of us learn through awkward missed opportunities. So Lauren Allanson and I are hosting a free webinar to share practical strategies that actually help: www.batterycourses.com/How-to-Netwo…

My first battery conference was overwhelming. I left realizing I'd missed opportunities simply because I didn't have a plan. Conferences are a skill you can learn. See how: www.batterycourses.com/How-to-Netwo…

Data centers need batteries — and not just one kind. Different sites call for different solutions. The challenges are local, tied to place & load. That’s what I love about batteries. Global impact, hyper-local problem solving. open.spotify.com/episode/5bk9Q4jfg8…

The biggest battery challenge in the U.S. isn’t just chemistry. It’s getting from lab to scale. Between research and mass production are critical development steps, and we’re missing too many of them here in the U.S. open.spotify.com/episode/5bk9Q4jfg8…

Scaling batteries isn’t just a chemistry problem. It’s manufacturing, workforce, & infrastructure. Scrap rates. Equipment. Charging access & public confidence. Industrial scale, workforce development, & education have to move together. open.spotify.com/episode/5bk9Q4jfg8…

Made my 1st video on batteries in 2018-2019 during a lunch break. I couldn’t find a clear explanation of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, so I made one. I thought if it helped 1 person, it was worth it. That video now has 70k+ views. open.spotify.com/episode/5bk9Q4jfg8…

You can’t hire people who don’t know you exist. Most people don’t know what a battery scientist does. Awareness is a workforce strategy. If they can’t see us, they can’t become us. Communication matters as much as chemistry. Visibility is recruitment. #BatteryWorkforce #SciComm

Fun battery fact: Gas cars split the job: tank stores energy, engine converts it. Batteries do both in one place. Your phone, laptop, EV all run on a reversible electrochemical device. One system doing two jobs at once. Not magic, just electrochemistry. 🔋✨ #Batteries #Energy101 #Electrochemistry

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Cell quality → pack quality → system quality. Break that chain and you feel it: 📈 Scrap up 💸 Yield down 🛑 Safety margins shrink As lines scale, quality can’t be a checklist item—it has to be culture. ⚙️🔋 #BatteryManufacturing #QualityEngineering #EnergyStorage

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Battery timelines usually slip on testing + logistics, not chemistry. Bottlenecks: R&D tiny failure signals, manufacturing throughput beats validation, field data in silos, logistics slow + regulated. Better materials help, but better testing + logistics move the needle. ⚡️ #BatteryDevelopment

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

I didn’t set out to work in batteries. I was doing fuel cell research when a conversation about electrochemistry made everything click. Same foundations, different problems. That lightning-bolt moment. Oh. This is it. It’s batteries for me. ⚡ open.spotify.com/episode/5bk9Q4jfg8…

010

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Hot take: most pack problems are cell selection problems. Without solid cell-level testing you won’t know heat, BMS behavior, form factor, or safety/performance. Get cells right → pack design is smooth. Get them wrong → everything downstream is a band-aid. #BatteryTesting #BatteryDesign

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

The theme of the year: critical minerals and domestic supply chains. We need mining, processing, manufacturing, and validation in the U.S., with traceability end to end. 🔋 Where do you plug in? #BatterySupplyChain #Traceability

Heading to a conference? Trade “what do you do” for “what problem are you most excited to solve this year?” It turns small talk into collaboration. 🚀 What is your go-to question? #BatteryCareers #Networking

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Progress feels quiet while you’re in it. 🌱 The “plateau” is often the build-up. Growth is loud in hindsight and silent in real time. Keep stacking small wins; foundations form that way. #BatteryCareers #EarlyCareer

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Worried about NDAs? You can still teach with context. ⚙️ • Explain the why, not the step-by-step • Share principles, not numbers from work • Tell stories, not specs • Use analogies Compliant and compelling can coexist. The goal is to spark curiosity, not share secrets. ⚡ #SciComm #BatteryCareers

Engineers may cringe at “marketing,” but it’s how ideas move. It turns progress into understanding, investment, and trust. Breakthroughs don’t matter if no one knows they exist. Communication belongs in the R&D pipeline. Storytelling is a catalyst. ⚙️ #BatteryCareers #SciComm

“Battery” often triggers the negatives: 🪫 Dead batteries 🔥 EV fire headlines 💬 Political noise Missing from the feed: 👷‍♀️ Real problem-solving ♻️ Recycling that closes loops ⚙️ Grid projects that cut emissions Storytelling shapes who joins, who funds, and who stays. Let’s show our progress.

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

“Regulation slows innovation” is a myth. The right regulation enables it. ⚙️ The EU battery passport delay is calibration, not collapse. Traceability is hard end to end, and policy is catching up. Innovation needs evolving structure, not perfection. ⚖️ #BatteryPolicy #Traceability

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Being wrong in public isn’t the risk; staying silent is. The best pros iterate. Own the mistake, map the fix, share the lesson. That’s how trust compounds. ⚙️ What will you share this week? #BatteryCareers #LearningInPublic

An EV battery’s “retirement” is usually a career change. Many packs still hold 70 to 80 percent capacity, which is plenty for stationary storage. Think warehouse backup, solar smoothing, and data center resilience. Second life is the encore. 🎭 #BatteryCircularity #EnergyStorage

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Hot take: every policy memo and R&D grant starts with a conversation that landed. 💬 Battery leadership isn’t just engineering; it’s communication fluency. Which skill are you leveling up next: technical writing, executive briefs, or cross-team facilitation? #BatteryCareers #Leadership

I once thought creativity was for the stage, not the lab. 🎸 Now I see it drives my science. Music trained me to hear rhythm, tension, and timing; those same instincts shape good systems engineering. Where does creativity show up in your work? #STEM #BatteryCareers

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

If you feel “behind” early in your career, you’re not late; you’re layering. ⏳ Projects, mistakes, and experiments compound. In fifteen years, curiosity becomes creative instinct. 💡 Keep going. You are building muscle memory for genius. #BatteryCareers #EarlyCareer

“Never charge to 100%” works for many chemistries, but LFP can be different. ⚙️ LFP has a flat mid-charge voltage, so many devices balance cells only near 100%. That last 5% finishes the sync. ✅ If you have LFP, how often do you do a full charge? #BatteryScience #LFP

Jill Pestana | Battery Expert 🔋 @jillpestana.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Fast to 80%, then a crawl? 🐢 That is your phone protecting the cell. As state of charge increases, voltage rises; the charger tapers current to limit stress and heat. The “slow” zone is a safety feature, not wasted time. Do you cap your daily charge or go to 100%? #BatteryScience #EVerydayBatteries

Hidden batteries start hidden fires. 🧨 Vapes. Toys. Greeting cards. Power banks. The small stuff adds up. Do this today: tape the terminals, bag it, take it to a drop-off or retailer take-back. Never in the trash, never in the curbside bin. #BatteryRecycling #FireSafety
