George Pedersen
EEU Instructor
George Pedersen has been immersed in the battery industry for over 40 years, with hands-on experience in battery maintenance and testing in four out of seven continents. George was engaged in the design, installation, commissioning and operation of communication and secure power systems. Since then, he has dedicated himself to educating various industries on NERC PRC-005-6 and IEEE compliance, battery management and monitoring and analysis through courses at Eagle Eye University.
What’s your teaching philosophy?
A lot of the attendees at the classes are not book learners. So, I try to bring context into all the classes by using real battery data and my own practical experiences to demonstrate the theory working in practice.
What advantage do your students have over others who don’t attend your courses?
They know a lot more about the practical aspects of battery management than most people do. As a result, they are in a position to manage any failures when they occur, as they most certainly will.

What are your hopes for your students’ futures?
Depending upon the point in their career path, I would want them to know more than I did when I was in their shoes. I want them to be so competent that they can rise in the ranks and be a credit to their employer. I hope that I have made their job easier and more rewarding.
