Custom Battery Packs: Disposable and Rechargeable Power Supply Units

Written by Dominic Bento
Posted on May 1, 2025 at 9:03 AM

When designing a product, the focus is often spent on the functionality of the device. For most instrument-measuring devices, most of the focus is spent on the sensors themselves and the data capture that will occur during their use. Often factors such as power delivery are left in theory until it’s time to finish the design of the product.
