Research & Development
Characterization, concept development, innovation, and data from test campaigns.
Working on projects with no answers yet is a favorite. The frontier does not come with instructions. We design the experiment, run it on instruments built for the job, and interpret the results into the next move.
- Thermal runaway on our purpose-built ARC, the most capable known for Li-ion cells and modules
- Abuse testing: overcharge, nail penetration, hot wire, laser initiation, and more, with thermal power handling above 40 MW
- Cell characterization, standard and beyond
- Performance in vacuum
- Internal cell pressure and third reference electrodes
- Novel chemistry, concepts, and invention
Make decisions based on empirical data and experienced guidance.
Consulting & Advisory
Strategy, benchmarking, expertise, and ongoing consulting. 20+ years of shipped batteries on call.
In a battery program, there are hard days and harder days. We provide context, training, our network, and evidence-based recommendations. Let’s have fun with it.
- Program scoping and strategy
- Ongoing advisory
- Benchmarking and cell shootouts
- Supplier support and material validation
- Safety training
- Investor and founder advisory, including technical due diligence
- Client lab setup
Build what matters.
Design & Testing
Design reviews, test plans, and validation campaigns matched to program targets.
We review your design, then build test plans to validate it against your program targets. The data we provide from our lab is a competitive edge. Safe, rugged batteries, built for your application.
- Design reviews: CAD, electrical, thermal, mechanical
- Test planning matched to program targets
- Prototyping and pack design
- Cycling to ±3,500 A on seven-digit precision channels
- Chambers from -160 °C to 250 °C, ultra-high vacuum capabilities
- Temperature-gradient cycling
- Spectroscopy of many kinds
- And more…
Turn unknowns into knowns.
Forensics
Failure analysis, forensic recreation, and root cause investigation.
A cell vented. A pack returned from the field. A production line is making scrap, and nobody knows why yet. We’re trained by fire to identify and mitigate failure mechanisms that are often overlooked.
- Failure analysis and mitigation
- CT scanning and imaging support
- Teardown and disassembly
- Forensic recreation on instrumented hardware
- Root cause and quality investigation

Strategy session.
Review and open discussion. Risks and gaps identified, retainer tier matched. You leave with a report and prioritized next steps — to work with us, your own team, or a different lab.
- 3
Monthly retainer.
Essential, Growth, or Boundless. Hire the team, deliver mission success.
Project BasedWe also work project-based for special cases and returning clients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you review my battery design choices?
Cell selection, thermal decisions, adhesives, component choices, best practices, how to resolve open questions with R&D, and more — we’d love to provide insight.
What does safety validation look like for my application?
Validation of concepts, prototypes, and production methods are unique to the application. We provide concrete steps to turn unknowns into knowns.
Do you provide certification testing?
Our facility practices technical rigor and regular calibration of equipment for research and development purposes. Certification can be performed by test houses. Instead, Electric Goddess focuses on utilizing R&D to solve the toughest challenges in the industry. The data we provide from our lab is a competitive edge to design safe, rugged batteries that are application-specific. Getting certifications may or may not be relevant to your product.
