As the demand for a green transition grows across industries, electrification is a rising trend across all manner of products – with battery technology proving a necessity for the companies engaging with this manner of sustainable optimisation. Lithium-ion batteries in particular, with their ability to store renewable energy for later use, are becoming invaluable tools.
