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

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

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

Best Practices – Scaling your EV Battery Program for Optimal Effectiveness
The ability to scale a battery program for agility and efficiency is crucial, particularly within the rapidly evolving EV market. Key to achieving this scale is the use of data generated throughout battery development to inform optimal, rapid decision making. A new class of software, the Battery Intelligence System (BIS), is now in commercial production helping organizations unlock the value of their data to achieve scale. This webinar will provide an introduction to BIS and offer valuable insight on how to best leverage the data your organization is already generating to keep your battery program nimble and efficient.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• A review of current industry challenges
• An introduction to Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS) that unify data and provide immediate access to data-driven insights for decision making
• A review of best practices to help teams standardize processes and increase organizational efficiency
• An overview of management tools to track and optimize battery programs
