Myths and Realities in Battery Engineering for EVs
As the automotive industry continues an aggressive push toward electrification, misconceptions abound as to the best way to run an EV battery program. Mobility companies are set up for failure if they’re of the mindset to outsource battery engineering, or that they can easily “set and forget” a battery after initial qualification. These missteps can lead to catastrophic product failures including delayed product launches, high-volume RMAs, recalls or worse. In this webinar we’ll review the most common myths to help ensure that your organization doesn’t have to learn the hard way.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Myths and misconceptions about battery engineering
• Consequences of believing these myths
• Realities of battery engineering
• Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Maximizing Battery Performance and Reliability for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
As automakers and utilities transition away from non-renewable energy sources, batteries have become essential for efficient energy storage and delivery. Companies are working intensely to deliver higher capacity and more robust batteries to power their products, but ad hoc development processes cannot keep pace with the volume of battery data being generated. In addition, understaffed battery development teams are unable to leverage their data to accelerate development or improve production and manufacturing.
In this webinar, we will outline the challenges that the battery industry is facing and how big data analytics can virtually eliminate manual data management and provide powerful capabilities that deliver rapid insights into a battery’s design that dramatically accelerate the development process and results in products with greater performance and reliability.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Recognizing the challenges and bottlenecks in battery development today
• Automating the battery data collection, data cleaning, and data management process
• Identifying design issues earlier with predictive analytics
• Leveraging metadata to understand the impact of materials, processes and test conditions

Battery Intelligence in Action – How to Launch an EV
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
Launching a new EV platform is a high-stakes game, where any problems encountered during battery pack development can severely jeopardize target ship dates. Developing an EV battery pack is a lengthy process comprising multiple interconnected stages that span from choosing the right cell to integrating the full pack into the vehicle. Each of these stages is complex and involves function-specific battery testing and analysis. This webinar will walk through each stage of EV pack development in detail, and will highlight how an integrated Battery Intelligence platform can drive an on-time launch and ensure quality and traceability, while minimizing risk throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Discuss how the battery is the most complex and costly component in the development of an EV, and is the component most likely to delay launch
• Review the complex multi-step process required to develop an EV pack and demystify pack development from cell selection through vehicle integration
• Showcase an interactive demonstration of key analytics

Simulation Of Battery Crash – Where Do We Stand?
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
Safety is an important functional requirement in the development of large-format, energy-dense, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries used in electrified vehicles. Computer aided engineering (CAE) tools that predict the response of a Li-ion battery pack to various abusive conditions can provide valuable insight during the design phase and reduce the need for physical testing.
However, the physics under such simulations is quite complex, and involves structural, thermal, electrical and electrochemical behaviors all coupled together and spanning length and time scales of different orders of magnitude.
In this talk, ANSYS LS-DYNA’s capabilities in the area of battery simulation will be introduced, current numerical challenges discussed, as well as a potential way forward towards including battery models in full car crash simulations.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The state of battery crash simulations
• Numerical challenges
• Capabilities of the commercial finite element code in ANSYS LS-DYNA
• A path towards capturing the thermal/mechanical/electromagnetic behavior of batteries during a full vehicle crash
