The absence of open source battery datasets and standardized access methods creates a major hurdle. Companies are forced to repeat the same work—collecting, cleaning, and converting data—rather than building on shared foundations.
Test equipment is often configured manually, with limited alignment between industry testing standards and how tests are actually run. This disconnect slows progress and adds friction to quality assurance.
Inconsistent data structures across manufacturers introduce unnecessary complexity in schema design and integration. These differences hinder efficiency and make collaboration harder than it needs to be.
Battery telemetry remains a wide-open frontier for open source development. Standardization and toolkits in this space are still lacking, presenting a major opportunity for innovation and impact.
