Battery Qualification 101
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
Batteries are the most complex and failure prone components in modern devices. To mitigate risks, companies extensively qualify battery cells and packs, a time consuming and expensive process that can lead to delays in product launch if issues are surfaced. Effectively managing time, personnel, and equipment is critical to meeting deadlines while also ensuring products meet safety and performance requirements.
In this webinar, we’ll provide an introduction to battery qualification and show interactive demonstrations of performance qualifications. We’ll also highlight best practices and value-added analytics to ensure that quality issues are surfaced soon as possible so that product release timelines are met.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Discuss the need to qualify batteries
• Discuss the different types of battery qualification
• Introduction to common performance qualifications — rate capability and cycle life among others
• Interactive analysis demonstration, first using traditional tools and then using a Battery Intelligence System
• Best practices to ensure product release timelines are met

Approaches to Recovering Critical Materials From Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries
FREE Webinar – Li-Cycle is a proud sponsor of this event.
As the world transitions towards sustainability and low carbon emissions, lithium-ion batteries are being used across a broad spectrum of products and industries. The automotive industry, in particular, estimates 559 million of electric vehicles will be on the road by 2040. Consequently, lithium-ion battery waste is forecasted to hit over 11 million tonnes by 2030.
How can the world deal with this oncoming tsunami of lithium-ion batteries?
The audience will have the answer after this webinar as this presentation will walk through both global and future approaches to dealing with end-of-life batteries and explore the importance of recovering critical materials from lithium-ion batteries to meet future demand.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Global end-of-life lithium-ion battery market opportunity
• Recycling vs reuse
• Incumbent technologies for ‘recycling’ lithium-ion batteries
• New technologies and techniques for recycling lithium-ion batteries
• Comparative benefits of recycling technologies

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

Lithium Ion Capacitors – Combining Energy with Power
FREE Webinar – JSR Micro, Inc. is a proud sponsor of this event.
Lithium Ion Capacitors (LIC) are hybrids of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and lithium ion batteries (LIB). Combining the reversible non-Faradaic cathode from an EDLC and the reversible Faradaic anode from an LIB results in an ultra or super capacitor with significantly increased energy density, improved float performance and low self-discharge rates. Avoiding the lithium metal oxide cathodes from LIB’s improves the inherent safety and eliminates Cobalt content, however still combines aspects of energy & power of both cell types. The Faradaic intercalation/deintercalation reactions at the anode are capable of generating a significant amount of charge, while the non-Faradaic electrostatic storage of the electrical energy formed at the interface of the electrode and the electrolyte, known as an electric double layer, results in fast charge and discharge capabilities for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of cycles.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• What is an LIC? Technology Introduction
• Key Benefits
• Safety
• EDLC vs LIC
• Applications
