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 Raft of EVs and Hybrids are Coming – Will the Buyers Follow?
Current sales trends for hybrid and electric vehicles will be detailed as will the effect of public policy on these vehicles. California is moving forward even as the US EPA and NHTSA pull back, with states aligning with California that represent 40% of total US sales.
There is a plethora of new products coming from a variety of automakers, with certain automakers taking their own unique approaches, which will of course differentially affect suppliers and consumers. While China may be “ground zero” for product introductions and sales, the US will see a significant number of new products, particularly if we include vehicles that are “electrified” (as opposed to fully electric vehicles).
Changes in technology affecting the cost and therefore the price to consumers will be discussed.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Current Sales Trends Regarding EVs and Hybrids
• Current Status of the EPA/NHTSA Midterm Review
• Current Status of CA Regulatory Intentions Regarding Fuel Economy and Zero Emission Vehicles
• Automaker EV Plans Through 2025
• Other Factors Affecting EV and Hybrid Sales in this PeriodPresenter

Advanced Techniques For Addressing Issues in Battery Safety and Performance Using Adiabatic Calorimetry
FREE Webinar – THT is a proud sponsor of this event.
Adiabatic calorimetry is a widely utilized technique within the field of battery safety research. The method has been adapted from the chemical industry to address a significant range of safety and performance tests on battery components, cells and even modules.
Although a number of different battery tests may be employed using the ARC, interpretation of results is not always straightforward. Some of the principles which apply to ARC chemical testing do not translate directly to battery testing due to the variable nature of samples.
This presentation describes both the advantages and limitations of ARC testing on batteries and how the ARC test can be adapted to address different questions in battery research as well as quality control.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The principles of adiabatic calorimetry (ARC)
• How calorimetry can be used in battery testing
• What we learn from battery testing by calorimetry
• Pressure measurement and gas collection during thermal runaway
• Advanced testing techniques in adiabatic battery calorimetryPresenter
