Eberhard Meissner

Eberhard Meissner has been conducting research on batteries since 1985.  With VARTA Batterie AG and later with Johnson Controls Power Solutions, he managed for 27 years various development teams in the fields of lead–acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries.  Retired in 2019, he continues working on batteries, especially in analysis of micro-scale mechanisms behind the macro-scale effects witnessed in battery behaviour.  Eberhard has been presenting at ELBC since 1990 and is author and co-author of numerous publications. In 2014, he was awarded the 2014 Gaston Planté Medal for his contribution to the development of lead–acid battery science and technology.
