Battery innovation is advancing rapidly, but unlocking its full value depends on how effectively cells are engineered into real-world systems. As performance targets rise and design constraints tighten, the focus is shifting toward precision engineering at both the cell and pack level, ensuring materials translate into consistent, reliable performance on the road. Success now hinges on integrating high-performing cells into battery systems that meet demanding requirements for safety, durability, manufacturability, and cost.
At the cell level, architecture decisions—including separator design, current collectors, binders, and other non-active components—play a critical role in determining performance, efficiency, and lifespan. At the same time, pack design introduces a distinct set of challenges spanning thermal management, mechanical integrity, and electrical integration, often independent of the underlying chemistry.
The Battery Engineering conference will explore how to optimize battery systems holistically, balancing energy density, power capability, thermal performance, durability, and cost across diverse applications. Sessions will highlight advances in cell-to-pack integration, structural battery concepts, cooling strategies, and design-for-manufacturing approaches that are shaping the next generation of EV battery systems.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
- Cell design, engineering, and modeling
- Non-active cell components
- Cell-safety features
- Pack mechanical and thermal design
- Pack electrical design and components
- Battery management
- Pack safety features
- Pack and vehicle abuse-tolerance validation
The deadline for priority consideration is May 22, 2026.
All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge EnerTech’s policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
