About Kgothatso Phora

Experienced technician with a strong background in Lithium-ion energy storage systems (ESS), electronic repairs, and telemetry systems within industrial and mining environments. I have hands-on expertise working on both Low-Voltage (LV) and High-Voltage (HV) battery systems, ATESS systems, and production-critical safety devices in mining. Currently working as a Telemetry Technician, I specialize in building, testing, and maintaining PLC-integrated safety systems and production belt telemetry devices used in mining operations. I’m responsible for fault-finding, component-level repairs, and delivering on-site technical support that ensures safety and operational uptime. Previously, I worked extensively on commissioning, maintaining, and troubleshooting lithium-ion battery systems, performing safety inspections, system diagnostics, and performance optimization. This includes cell balancing, component-level repairs, and collaborating with engineering teams to enhance efficiency.
