Introduction to the Designer's Perspective
Designer's Perspective, Part 1
What went wrong
Overheating
Battery A
the pouch seals around the battery jelly
Engineering or Design issue?
engineering tells design of the limitations
Battery Engineers to understand with Phone Engineers
Samsung SDI: Battery
Samsung Electronics: Phone
Battery B
What went through design's head of what went wrong
crossover industrial design with engineering team
certain amount of space limited within the housing itself
housing of battery didn't fit properly
Initial decisions
Battery Capacity Requirement
35 milliamp
side story: built the URB-E around the battery. Very compact
safety requirements for battery cells, air gap
battery would need room to grow
had to do drastic changes to the vehicles to compensate for battery size
had to fit certain dimensions
How could the problem been avoided
how to solve it
meet with engineering team
what needs to be moved around / relocated within phone to fix this?
industrial designers would have to work closely with engineering
better ventilation? adjusted height?
Interview - Product Design
Design / Engineering focus
Open Response
How do you think the problem could have been avoided?
The Designer's Perspective, Part 2
What are the lessons that were learned
how volatile the lithium battery is
raise awareness across the board
samsung has 8 point check for battery
example hoverboards: factories trying to undercut the price as much as possible. Lithium batteries would overheat
got just as much press as samsung, just didn't have the brand like samsung
How could it be done right?
don't skimp on the manufacturing
Open Response
What questions should be asked?
How would you have solved the problem?
The Designer's Perspective, Part 3
Concluding Remarks
battery is a powerful piece of tech
have to be very cautious about brand
who to partner with
what standards
lowest price, fastest to market but w/o sacrificing safety
especially young startups
established, large companies can recover
