Episode 1 of 5
The maritime industry is experiencing a revolutionary shift from combustion engines to electric power—and with it comes unprecedented challenges in battery management. Are you prepared?
We’re thrilled to invite you to the first episode of our groundbreaking 5-part interview series featuring Michal Sastinsky, Co-Founder and CEO of BatteryCheck. This conversation marks the beginning of an essential dialogue about batteries, battery life, and the critical role of predictive monitoring in ensuring safety and performance in maritime operations.
Why This Series Matters
When an electric vehicle battery fails on land, you simply step out of the car. But when a battery fails offshore? You’re stranded in the middle of the ocean with saltwater, extreme temperatures, and no escape route. This reality makes proactive battery management not just convenient—it’s mission-critical.
Episode 1: Understanding Battery Life Through Industry Insights
In this inaugural episode, Michal Sastinsky and host Onno Ebbens dive deep into the findings of our comprehensive industry survey, revealing eye-opening insights about how maritime professionals currently manage their batteries—and where the critical gaps exist.
Key Revelations from Our Industry Survey:
The Knowledge Gap is Real Despite having over 5 years of experience, many maritime professionals don’t know what they don’t know about battery management. While most respondents were aware of where major batteries are located on board, there’s significant confusion about:
- The actual number of batteries on vessels
- Location of backup batteries and battery-powered sensors
- Batteries connected to diesel engines and auxiliary systems
Battery Failures Are Common—and Costly The majority of survey respondents have encountered battery-related issues or failures, emphasizing the urgent need for effective troubleshooting and faster resolution times. The most common causes identified include:
- Incorrect charging procedures
- Temperature, climate, and humidity conditions
- Overheating—especially critical in maritime environments with sun exposure and saltwater corrosion
Standard Operating Procedures Are Lacking Many vessels operate without comprehensive SOPs tailored to battery lifecycle management, creating unnecessary risk for crews, passengers, and valuable assets.
The BatteryCheck Solution: Your Guardian Angel for Batteries
As Michal explains in the interview, BatteryCheck serves as a “guarding angel” for maritime operations—monitoring battery health in real-time and alerting crews to potential issues before they become critical failures.
Think of it as an Apple Watch for your batteries: continuous monitoring that provides early warning signs, enabling you to schedule predictive maintenance during port visits rather than facing emergency situations offshore.
