Cell barriers play a crucial role in both thermal propagation protection and the overall state of health (SOH) of the cells in electric vehicle (EV) modules or packs. However, EV module engineers often lack the time for long-term testing to inform their design decisions. Therefore, accurately predicting and planning for cell pad performance throughout the life cycle and to end of life (EOL) is vital for ensuring battery safety and optimal pack performance.
This 60-minute webinar explores next generation forecasting models that integrate real-life data to improve life cycle performance assessments — and increase confidence in engineers' thermal propagation protection strategies as well as overall system performance.
Topics include:
- Evaluating the mechanical and thermal behavior of next-generation cell barriers after thousands of cycles in real-world NMC modules
- Comparing in-situ results with accelerated aging tests
- Discussing the development and implementation of new end-of-life compression models based on empirical data
An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
