| 0:00.0 | The Hello and welcome to the fully charged show podcast. Now I'm really pleased I |
| 0:20.9 | managed to get this interview done in the current circumstances because I think what this company doing is vitally important and really interesting that it's going ahead and it's a success. So I had a wonderful conversation |
| 0:34.8 | with Dr Amrit Chandan from a company called Acceleron and he and his co-founder, Carlton Cummins have come up with this |
| 0:48.0 | just a simple system to make sure that we don't throw batteries away. It's always been the kind, it's been a bone of contention with me for years when people say, we're just going to throw the batteries away. |

| 1:58.2 | will I think will help explain your understanding and your involvement in in the world of electricity storage now. |
