Lost productivity, inventory inaccuracy, and social irresponsibility are just a few of the sins associated with bad mobile device battery management.
Curt Quinter has been in the battery business for 41 years. Today, he’s president and chief engineer at Impact Power Technologies, LLC (IPT), but his history of contributions to the battery as we know it today is unparalleled. Quinter honed his skills at General Battery and Yuasa before managing exotic battery research for 12 years at Westinghouse and directing operations at Honeywell Battery. He was the developer and chief engineer of the first lithium polymer land mobile radio batteries. He worked at the Waxahachie super collider, researched nuclear power shoulder-to-shoulder with South Korean engineers, and founded Global Technology System. That’s just a snapshot of highlights from his career prior to his brief retirement. Ken Murphy, COO at IPT, lured him out of that retirement in October 2012 to lead the company.
