Solar Stik™ Inc. to Develop Intelligent Battery Information System (IBIS)

Solar Stik™ Inc. intends to push the boundaries of Lithium-based Portable Power Systems by developing an Intelligent Battery Information System (IBIS) with Data Bus Standardization and LiFePO4 Battery Controls.

While performing research and development for the next generation of portable energy storage technologies, we (the engineering Team at Solar Stik™ Inc.) have identified what we believe to be one of the critical missing links in the industry.

Military Standards (MIL-STD)

The History of MIL-STD

In today’s modern military, there exists a code of “Standards” that are designed to ensure proper performance, viability, and maintainability of military equipment.

This Stuff Has Gotta Work!!!

“Three…is the magic number”… some of you may remember this catchy tune from Schoolhouse Rock cartoon series on Saturday mornings… (ok, I’ve just dated myself!)

Three is also the number of U.S. solar cell manufacturing companies that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August of 2011. Evergreen Solar, SpectraWatt, and Solyndra have all stopped production and filed for protection from creditors. All three cited the ever-increasing manufacturing competition from China as the main cause.

...from "Geek" to "Pro"!

Yep… I’m one of those “Geeky Power Guys”… To me, being called a “Geek” is a term of endearment these days.  Sure, back in High School, I loathed the term, but now that I’m more mature (well, sort of), I’ve embraced my “Geekdom”!

While I am certainly proud of my Geek heritage, my colleagues and I prefer to think of ourselves as “Power Pros” in today’s highly competitive world of Power Management.

The Inaugural Blog Post

“It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn.”

- GEORGE WASHINGTON (Letter to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, September 5, 1789)
