Bio

With over 25 years of experience spanning lead-acid, lithium-ion, lithium, and alkaline technologies, Shep brings a deep understanding and knowledge of the industry. His long-standing career and dedication make him an invaluable asset in the world of battery technology.


“I believe that we are in the early phase of a technological renaissance in lead-acid chemistry. Lead acid presents the greatest potential for long-term sustainability among other chemistries due to the significant gap between its practical energy density and theoretical maximum, disruptive advancements in new manufacturing technologies and related process capabilities, and its unbeatable recyclability. These factors combined re-position lead-acid technology as a frontrunner in sustainable energy storage solutions.”
