Building Better Batteries through Improvements in Battery Safety, Cell Engineering, and Battery Management Systems

24-25 June 2025

As battery technology advances, the demand for precisely engineered systems that maximise the potential of active cell materials continues to grow. This requires the development of battery packs that ensure consistent cell performance and smooth integration into vehicles, all while adhering to specific design constraints and maintaining high standards of safety, reliability, and durability. The design of individual cells, including decisions about non-active components, plays a critical role in shaping battery performance and longevity. At the same time, battery pack design and integration pose unique challenges in thermal, mechanical, and electrical engineering, challenges that often transcend the specific chemistry of the cells used. To optimise both cell and pack design for a given application, it is essential to balance key factors like energy capacity, power output, manufacturability, durability, thermal management, and cost-effectiveness.
