Every battery system starts with what the application needs: how much energy and power, over what temperature range, for how many years, in how much space and at what cost. We turn those requirements into a complete design, from choosing the cells to defining how they are combined into modules and packs, protected and controlled. We then integrate prototypes and validate them, so the design is checked against real test results before production. Applications include traction batteries for electric vehicles and batteries for stationary energy storage.
You have an application and need a battery system designed for it, starting with the choice of cells.
You have a concept and need a working prototype, with the mechanical, electrical, thermal and control interfaces resolved.
You want to use an existing battery platform in a new application.
You want to improve a prototype or an installed system, based on design reviews, interface analysis and test results.
We work at every level of the battery, from the cell to the complete pack.
We turn your targets for energy, power, temperature, lifetime, size and cost into selection criteria and operating limits. We then compare cells and supplier data, and test samples under realistic conditions.
We define the module’s series and parallel configuration, layout and wiring, voltage and temperature sensing, cell balancing and connection to the thermal management system. We then integrate prototypes and resolve issues with cell consistency, interfaces and performance.
We design the pack around its voltage, power and operating environment, and coordinate its structure, weight, thermal management, electrical protection, battery management system (BMS) and connections to the vehicle or storage system. We then integrate prototypes, commission the control system and validate the design.
You can engage us for a single stage or for the whole project.
Because we also develop battery test equipment, validation is part of the engineering work from the start. Our cyclers and BMS test systems check performance, communication, measurement, balancing, protection and thermal management. The results are used to confirm design assumptions, find the causes of integration issues and guide improvements.
Tell us about your application, and our engineers will help you define the right battery system for it.
