BIS Tutorial Course 2/3: Battery Intelligence in Research and Development (R&D)
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
The development of new, improved battery systems is slowed by the long test times required to validate battery cycle life — three to six months for consumer electronics and multiple years for long-life applications such as transportation and energy storage.
In this webinar, we’ll review how Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS) can enable accelerated development cycles and time to market. BIS can not only speed development cycles with automated background analytics; it can also unlock new insights with enhanced analytical techniques, helping you make better decisions faster.
This webinar will focus on specific end-uses including fast-charge algorithm development, BMS algorithms and new materials development, and how BIS can accelerate optimization and new product introduction.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The state of the battery development ecosystem
• The design of experiments (DoE) to optimize performance
• Dramatic changes in workflow with Battery Intelligence System (BIS) Software
• Enhanced analytics examples including differential capacity analysis (dQ/dV vs V) and on-line correlative analysis
• BIS enabled faster development cycles and time to market

New Developments in Isothermal Microcalorimetry and ARC® Testing Methods
FREE Webinar – THT is a proud sponsor of this event.
This presentation describes two main types of calorimetric techniques which can be used to carry out performance and safety testing on batteries. These are isothermal calorimetry and adiabatic calorimetry.
THT’s new Micro Battery Calorimeter is presented along with initial data from a prototype unit. This device is focused on high sensitivity measurement which is required for coin and button cell samples which produce only milliwatts of heat during use. This is an example of an isothermal calorimeter system.
The second half of the presentation covers battery testing methods for the ARC® adiabatic calorimeter system. The theoretical background of the test method is described and recommended practice for various types of testing are discussed.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Principles of isothermal calorimetry for batteries
• Introduction to the Micro Battery Calorimeter and initial data
• Theoretical background to ARC® testing
• Recommended ARC® testing practices

Battery Safety Assessment: From Cell to Pack Level
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
For fast and reliable battery pack development, a virtual assessment of battery safety via simulation is presented. The methodology, from single cell abuse testing up to battery pack simulation of crash and crush loads, is discussed. Cell tests that provide detailed understanding of the mechanical behavior of single Li-ion cells are used to improve battery stiffness and to optimize battery pack design.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Method description: battery safety assessment from cell to pack level
• Abuse cell tests
• Abuse cell simulations
• Crash and crush simulations at module and pack levels

BIS Tutorial Course 3/3: Battery Intelligence in New Product Introduction (NPI) for Transportation and Consumer Electronics
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
OEMs are faced with an ever growing list of challenges when designing batteries into their systems, from long qualification time, to increasingly complex systems and the lack of qualified battery engineers.
In this webinar, we’ll review the battery and systems qualification process for transportation and consumer electronics, including specific reference performance tests such as hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC), that are used for BMS development.
We’ll then shift into how Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS) can both accelerate time to market for New Product Introduction (NPI), and can surface deeper insights about variability in batteries and packs to increase range, lower costs, and improve reliability.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The state of OEM new product introduction (NPI)
• Battery and system qualification
• BMS development and hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC)
• Ensuring time to market for NPI
• Extending range and lifetime with component variability assessment
