The feedback was clear and constructive. The company is aiming for a minimal, streamlined solution rather than anything bulky or overly artisanal. In response, we are pivoting from a backpack concept to a bandolier or clip on design that emphasizes comfort, discretion, and quick put on and take off. We are moving forward with two designs that use different battery types and structures so we can evaluate tradeoffs in energy density, thermal behavior, mass, cost , and ease of manufacturing. The visit included tours of engineering, manufacturing, and the new cell balancing facilities, and those insights are already informing our approach to packaging, safety, and assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we will refine the design, deepen modeling, and coordinate to keep production considerations a priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our team finalized its presentation at Lithionics and visited their headquarters for a design review.
