As industries accelerate toward electrification, one challenge consistently rises to the top: The need for batteries that can go farther, last longer and maximize uptime. From transit buses and delivery fleets to marine vessels, robotics and industrial equipment, today’s operators require solutions that deliver superior efficiency, reliability and cost savings.
At American Battery Solutions (ABS), innovation in longer-range, long-lasting batteries is transforming how organizations approach electrification. Ivan Menjak, Vice President of Business Development at ABS, shares his perspective on how these advancements are reshaping industries and what’s on the horizon.
In commercial and industrial sectors, vehicles and equipment must operate for long hours and cover significant distances to meet customer needs. Longer-range and longer-lasting batteries not only reduce operating costs and downtime but also improve the overall business case for electrification. Pair that with the zero-carbon benefits, and the shift toward advanced lithium-ion solutions becomes a clear path forward.
Demand for advanced batteries is strongest in industries where uptime directly translates into revenue
These industries demonstrate how battery performance is no longer a nice-to-have, but a critical enabler of success.
Recent technical breakthroughs are pushing performance further than ever before:
Safety remains paramount. ABS integrates multiple layers of protection into every system, ensuring that customers benefit from both performance and peace of mind.
As customer expectations evolve, so do the demands for tailored solutions. Many OEMs seek differentiation through batteries designed for their unique applications. ABS delivers this flexibility by offering scalable product architectures, customizable software, and close collaboration throughout the design and integration process. This approach allows customers to achieve performance differentiation while still benefiting from economies of scale.
With global supply chain uncertainties on the rise, U.S.-based manufacturing has become a competitive advantage. Customers working with ABS can actively participate in product development while gaining confidence in the reliability of a local, transparent supply chain.
Looking ahead, ABS continues to push innovation with the latest generation of higher-energy-density cells and flexible manufacturing strategies. Future product announcements will further expand capabilities, helping OEMs stay ahead in their electrification journey.
Longer-range, long-lasting batteries aren’t just an incremental improvement — they are a game-changer. By reducing downtime, cutting costs and enabling new applications, they are powering the transition across industries.
For OEMs, the message is clear: Focus on vehicle integration and partner with experienced battery system providers. As Menjak noted, “Batteries are hard. The power of experience is real.”

Longer-range and longer-lasting batteries reduce operating costs and overall downtime for both the commercial and industrial sectors. Lithium-ion batteries also boast the benefits of zero carbon emissions.
Many industries rely on maximum uptime to drive revenue. Applications such as transit buses, delivery fleets, terminal tractors and marine vessels need dependable power that keeps vehicles and equipment operating longer. Longer-range and longer-lasting battery performance directly impacts application efficiency, profitability and service reliability.
Batteries manufactured in the U.S. avoid uncertainties with the global supply chain. They also have unique reliability due to the hands-on development of increasingly innovative systems that expand the boundaries of electrification.
Thermal management keeps cells operating within optimal temperature ranges, reducing the risk of failure and slowing cell degradation. This ensures an extended battery life, improved reliability and lower total cost of ownership.
A partner with proven experience, strong safety and thermal management expertise, and the ability to deliver reliable performance over the life of the product will ensure you reduce risk and control costs while retaining autonomy in the development of your systems.
