Jane Watts spent many years working as an electrician’s mate in the US Coast Guard. It was there that she developed a technical aptitude and an understanding of the important role batteries play in so many machines and devices. After completing her service, Watts worked for several manufacturing firms before deciding to branch out on her own.
