Design More Adaptable Li-ion Battery Packs to Accommodate Changing EV Safety Regulations

With the growing adoption of EVs globally, there’s been greater focus on the safety features of battery packs and the materials within them. Understanding the inherent risks involved with the use of lithium-ion batteries, as instability in one cell/battery can increase the temperature of the cell and create an explosion and/or fire, causing irreparable damage. Considering the presence of many cells in close proximity within an EV battery, instability in one cell can easily propagate to adjacent cells, causing a cascading event that could result in a massive exothermic event. Automakers and suppliers are striving to reduce the frequency of these events to make electric vehicles safer and more adaptable, while several global authorities are also developing safety standards to mitigate the severity of these events.

In this webinar, you can expect to learn:

  • Regulation trends to mitigate the severity of an exothermic event
  • Current approaches to mitigate propagation
  • Tests to evaluate material solutions that consider the dynamic nature of the cell chemistry and pack architecture
  • Future trends in development that are needed to improve the efficacy, suitability and versatility of such material solutions

Get ahead of this pressing topic with the support of a supplier that has a finger on the pulse of industry needs and can support the changing global requirements.
