Solid State PLC took to the pavements and paths once again for our annual charity walk on 29th June. This year, our chosen charity was the RSPCA and we challenged ourselves to walk a million steps while raising money.
We’re pleased to report we smashed our goal and collectively walked 1,112,827 steps! We raised an awesome amount of £1981 which was matched by Solid State to make a total donation of £3962 to the RSPCA. We hope the money raised will enable this important charity to continue protecting and caring for our pets, livestock and wildlife. Well done to all involved!

Two events in April kept our Power team busy, showcasing our custom battery design expertise.
Ocean Business, as its name suggests, is an exhibition for ocean technology and a training forum. On 16th-18th April we were in Southampton displaying our battery solutions for oceanographic applications and autofocus-zoom cameras suitable for marine ROVs.
Battery Tech Expo took place on 20th April in Silverstone, and we talked visitors through the features of our custom-designed power packs for UAVs and battery solutions for robotics and automation. We also displayed automotive HVDC & LVDC contactors and relays from our sister company, Durakool.
Take a closer look at our battery design and manufacture capabilities.

We’ve recently installed an Asterion wire bonder in our Power facility in Crewkerne to add wire bonding to our inhouse capabilities. Compared to traditional methods of interconnecting, wire bonding enables manufacturers to offer custom battery packs with high discharge capabilities and reduced assembly time (in a shorter lead time) which meet even higher levels of reliability and safety. Wire bonding helps to prolong cell life and improve battery performance as a result of lower resistance.
We will now be able to deliver wire bonded battery packs to customers covering a range of applications including medical, industrial, oceanographic, transport and energy.
We know that every cell that leaves our factory having been wire bonded is safe, reliable and robust. This is in addition, of course, to our traditionally bonded battery packs which have been tried and tested over decades. See more about wire bonding.
How did we meet the challenge of providing power for MWD, LWD and Wireline logging equipment? These tools need to operate in the harshest of environments for long periods of time through huge temperature variations and immense vibration.
