Join Pulsenics leadership for an afternoon of expert insight and live technology, hosted by San Francisco’s Battery Saloon. Attendees will explore how inconsistent quality decisions on the battery production line turn into field failures and warranty costs, and what manufacturers can do about it.

Pulsenics invites you to gather in downtown San Francisco for happy hour and an enlightening panel discussion. The event will be hosted in the Financial District (exact address provided upon registration).

🔋 Panel discussion: Voices from cell manufacturers and OEMs discuss where quality breaks down between them, what’s at stake, and how closing that gap prevents costly failures downstream.

This panel discussion will be moderated by Sama Aghniaey, PhD, the CEO of The Battery Saloon, and will feature:

  • Mariam Awara, COO of Pulsenics
  • Asma Sharafi, CTO of Ensurge
  • Tim Bogart, Senior Managing Engineer at Exponent
  • Celina Mikolajczak, Advisor to the Battery Industry

⚡ Live demo and happy hour: We’ll show how AccelaGrade grades batteries in minutes, not hours. Traditional testing relies on charge-discharge cycling that takes hours per battery and turns cyclers into a bottleneck. AccelaGrade replaces that with fast, repeatable, data-backed grading built on Pulsenics’ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology.

AccelaGrade runs multiple cells or modules in parallel, across chemistries and form factors. Manufacturers use it to:

  • Grade 100% of their batteries instead of sampling.
  • Make consistent pass/fail decisions across operators, shifts and sites.
  • Keep intake, assembly and release decisions on schedule.

This demo is presented by Benjamin Maxwell, CTO of Pulsenics.

This is a rare opportunity for startups, investors, researchers, entrepreneurs, insurance companies, and service providers to take a closer look at how Pulsenics’ rapid grading works and how it helps manufacturers grade every cell and module without slowing the line.
