February 9, 2026: Battery Council International has introduced a new mascot and educational ambassador ahead of National Battery Day on February 18.

BCI said on February 4 the mascot, ‘Sir Chargewell’, has a mission of sharing how batteries power the world.

With his super electrifying personality, Sir Chargewell embodies BCI’s commitment to making battery education engaging and accessible, the US lead battery trade body said.

“He demystifies energy storage technology, highlights batteries’ critical economic role, and champions industry innovation.

“On National Battery Day, we celebrate both where we’ve been and where we’re going.”

BCI celebrates National Battery Day every year, showcasing batteries as a key component in the global economy and the role its member companies and organizations play in supporting critical applications including cars and trucks, data-centers and grid-scale energy storage.

“Our industry’s foundation is built on over a century of lead battery innovation. BCI has provided 100+ years of leadership, and some members have manufactured lead batteries even longer.”
