  Adiabatic Calorimetry for Performance and Safety Testing of Li-Ion Batteries

  This presentation describes how Accelerating Rate Calorimetry (ARC®) is the adiabatic method of choice to carry out performance and safety testing on Li-ion batteries. This technique is widely used within the industry to understand the thermal characteristics of cells.

  The theoretical background of the technique is described, with recommendations made across different testing types. Examples are shown across multiple form factors, from coin cells up to small modules.

  Test methods discussed include decomposition tests, nail penetration, overcharge, short circuit, infrared, optical, gas generation and analysis, heat capacity and cycling.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Principle of adiabatic calorimetry for batteries
  • Advantages of this method
  • Discussion of applications and results
  • Recommended testing practices

  Best Practices for EV Cell Testing

  In this webinar, we will begin with an overview of the typical structure of automotive EV programs, along with how the APQP phase gate process aligns to the key milestones of Automotive Component Verification (DVP & PVP) validation plans. Key considerations for testing progress tracking, reporting and the range of different tools and strategies will be discussed. This includes the importance of rigorous test procedure definition and equipment set-up verification to ensure highest quality data and reporting. A review the relevant standards will be presented along with examples of OEM specific testing areas. We conclude with a summary of the best practices our team has developed thru our EV testing programs conducted at Energy Assurance LLC’s Hopkinton test facility.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Typical EV program structure overview and APQP process
  • Effective reporting and communication strategies
  • Procedure definition and development
  • Ensuring proper test set-up preparation and execution
  • EV relevant testing standards and customer specific testing

  Lithium-Ion Battery Patents – Understanding Infringement and Invalidity Through Recent Notable Litigation

  This presentation will discuss recent notable decisions in U.S. litigation of lithium-ion patents, and what those cases can teach us about infringement and invalidity issues in lithium-ion patents. The presentation will focus on the role played by weight/volume claim terms, the duty of disclosure and invention disclosure statements during prosecution, the importance of quantitative examples in lithium-ion patent specifications, and properly presenting prophetic and working examples.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Recent notable decisions in U.S. district court and U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (IPRs) litigation of lithium-ion patents
  • The infringement and invalidity of lithium-ion patent claims:
  – The critical role of weight/volume (quantitative) claim terms
  – How invention disclosure statements (IDS) can affect validity
  – The importance of examples in a lithium-ion patent specification
  – Properly presenting prophetic examples (predicted experimental results) as opposed to working examples (actual experimental results) in a lithium-ion patent

  How to Safely Select DC Fuses for EES Systems

  Proper selection of direct current (DC) overcurrent fuses is not as simple as it may seem, and several factors need to be looked at for proper selection. Design engineers need to look at many different things such as what we’re protecting, system voltage changes, circuit fault currents, minimum breaking currents, mechanical requirements, temperature deratings, system operation regarding cycling, etc. All of these and other factors need to be taken into consideration to safely select the proper DC fuse for each unique application. This presentation will take you through the basics of DC and AC fuses, DC circuit protection methods, and review EES fuse selection along with a case study. With the rapid growth of Electrical Energy Storage systems being implemented and deployed, we see an opportunity to educate everyone on this topic.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Fuseology
  • Fuse Selection Practices
  • DC Circuit Protection
  • EES Fuse Selection Methodology
  • Case Study
