Electric mobility in India is growing fast due to the rapid growth of population, increased living standards and government programs supporting fossil fuel-free transportation. In addition to the significant number of two- and three-wheel vehicles, more battery-electric four-wheel cars are entering Indian roads.

A big driver behind this development are the achievements in EV (electric vehicle) battery technology, that provide better performance, safety and durability for prismatic and pouch cell technologies. This development has only just started, and The Battery Show India 2024 was a good opportunity to explore the latest trends, materials and technologies for EV and charging infrastructure in the region.

Reach beyond with innovative battery protection solutions

In Li-Ion EV batteries, thermal runaway propagation mitigation is still one of the major challenges battery designers are facing. High power density and maximized performance are enormous stressors for the cells and keeping them under the exact right pressure during charging and discharging and in ideal temperature conditions is a tough challenge for engineers. Our latest Norseal® Compression Pad and Thermal Runaway Protection solutions presented at the show combine unique compression and thermal runaway propagation protection properties that impressed many visitors at our booth during the show.

To seal the battery pack from environmental influences, innovative pack sealing solutions were presented in a new way among the hidden gems of the trade show. This full range of battery pack housing options, from foam-in-place gasketing and silicone foam rubbers to butyl-coated PVC and micro-cellular PUR foams, champion in combining reliable sealing of batteries from the external environment with low compression set and fire-blocking solutions.
