  • (FREE) INTERTEK: Adjacent Market Compliance for EV Cells and Batteries

    Wednesday, September 23, 2026 | 10:00 A.M. EDT USA

    EV manufacturers and their major battery suppliers have invested $-billions in large format Lithium Ion cell and battery pack manufacturing capacity. With the sometimes volatile EV demand market, these manufacturers must look to adjacent markets to utilize and monetize this capacity. New industries, applications and global markets each bring their own unique challenges when working to comply with all relevant regulatory and industry standards and regulations. This webinar addresses some of the key challenges faced when developing new battery systems for compliance within these adjacent markets. Key markets include micromobility, industrial trucks, eVTOL, product handling equipment, as well as stationary storage. Challenges include: understanding market regulations and regulators, the role of certification bodies and other third parties, as well as common misconceptions when applying EV expertise to other industries.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Identifying adjacent markets for EV cell and battery capacity
    • Regulatory drivers
    • Third party certification options
    • Common missteps applying EV designs to new markets
    • Second life vs. new construction applications

    A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

  • (FREE) SAINT GOBAIN: From Mobility to Infrastructure – High Performance Materials Engineered to Extend Battery System Lifetime

    Wednesday, October 07, 2026 | 10:00 A.M. EDT USA

    With battery technologies extending beyond automotive applications into grid-scale energy storage systems (ESS) and data centers, the performance requirements for battery packs are evolving toward longer service life, higher reliability, and highly predictable behavior over 15–20 years of operation. In this presentation, we discuss how high-performance Norseal® foam materials, originally developed for EV battery packs, can be adapted to meet the mechanical and durability requirements of adjacent segments such as ESS and data centers. Key battery system design challenges – including cell swelling, compression cycling, and pack sealing – are addressed, supported by experimental testing validation for Norseal® foam products.

    We further demonstrate how tailored material formulations, guided by design tools such as MAXIO, enable optimization of stiffness, resilience, and long-term stability across diverse pack architectures. Finally, we provide insights into emerging battery system technologies, such as immersion cooling, and outline the performance of Norseal® foam materials for these architectures.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • EV battery material learnings applied to ESS and data center batteries
    • High-performance Norseal® foams to manage mechanical challenges: cell swelling, optimal cell pressure, sealing and materials resilience overtime
    • Customized formulation and simulation modeling for optimized cell-to-cell (C2C) pad designs
    • Emerging trends: ESS & data center convergence and immersion cooling

    A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.
