How Battery Intelligence Can “Recession-Proof” Your Battery Program
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
COVID-19 and the recession will separate winners from losers. Despite the current downturn, there are opportunities for automakers, consumer electronics OEMs, cell suppliers, and the broader battery ecosystem to adopt new tools and processes to survive the recession and come out on top. For the greater battery ecosystem, Voltaiq, the market leader in Battery Intelligence software, is helping companies adapt to the new normal for remote work, streamlined decision making, and organizational efficiency. This webinar will provide an overview of battery-specific challenges related to COVID-19, best practices highlighted by leading business publications, and real examples of how leading companies are using tools like Voltaiq to navigate the current storm, make gains on the competition, and ship product.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The impact of COVID-19 on battery development programs
• Recession as an opportunity to digitize your business while opportunity costs are lower
• How digital transformation can help companies thrive post-recession by increasing efficiency and resilience while streamlining decision-making
• Examples of how Battery Intelligence software is helping companies ship product during COVID-19

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

The US 2020 Market for Electrified Vehicles: Forward, Backward, or Sideways?
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
Sales of battery electrics and hybrids were up last year, while plug in hybrids dropped even as the number of entries increased. New products are coming in 2020 and beyond; will sales rise quickly enough to keep the market moving forward? Product, price, incentives, features, branding, and marketing all matter and will be discussed.
For the second year in a row, we expect Tesla’s US sales to decline, although each category (e.g., hybrids, plug ins, battery electrics) will increase with the strongest increase in…regular and mild hybrids.
Major changes in costs and technology, as well as the impact of suppliers in these areas, will be discussed, as well as expectations for the near-term.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Review of 2019 Sales with a 2020 Forecast
• How Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
• Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies Often Matter More
• Is There a Gap Between Strategy and Reality?
• The Role of Suppliers and Technology
