Battery storage systems play a central role in the reliability, quality of service, and economic viability of mini-grids. However, their performance depends on numerous factors: technological choices, thermal management, climatic conditions, BMS quality, operating practices, availability of local expertise, and business models.

In the African context, where operational, logistical, and financial constraints are particularly significant, optimizing battery use is becoming a strategic imperative to ensure continuous power supply, limit costs, and extend the lifespan of installations.

This forum aims to foster discussion among developers, utilities, integrators, and innovators on the challenges and solutions surrounding batteries.
