Director of Cell Processing

• Jan 2023 - Present

Samsar eliminates the risk of owning a battery asset by providing flexible subscription packages to lease an energy storage unit per KWhr. This eliminates upfront financing, spreading costs over time. Assures battery replacement once it no longer meets the application requirement. Guarantees logistical assistance for environment-friendly End-of-Life recycling. A rigorous regime of testing and data processing goes into the characterization of battery modules that make a pack to power a product. All assets are further monitored in the field to ensure uninterrupted energy supply to the end user. Show less
