About ESPL

Welcome to the Home Page of Energy Storage Publishing Ltd (ESPL). Batteries and Energy Storage Technology (BEST) magazine is the world's leading publication on battery manufacture and design and the emerging field of large scale electrical energy storage. If you make or use rechargeable battery systems for automotive, telecom, standby or a host of other applications, BEST magazine is a must-read for you. If you are a supplier to this market, it is the place to promote your products and services. Launched in 2003, BEST magazine covers developments in all battery chemistries from lead-acid to lithium-ion. Its editorial team reports from all the major technical conferences and exhibitions in this field and is recognised as the BEST source for keeping up with major industry developments. Chinese BEST, its sister publication, was launched in 2010 to make the editorial excellence of BEST available in Mandarin to the burgeoning Chinese battery industry. It is fast becoming a must read technical journal in China. If you are looking for new machinery, materials or technology to make batteries, you'll read about it in our pages first. We also send out, in English and Mandarin, a weekly news briefing that is a roundup of the most important news stories relating to the battery industry.
