LLIBTA Symposium
Large Lithium Ion Battery Technology and Application
Tuesday, February 7 to Wednesday, February 8, 2012

AABC 2012. LLIBTA Symposium: Large Lithium Ion Battery Technology and Application – Session 2

 
Session 2:
Battery Safety and Durability Validation in Long-Life Applications

While battery performance and cost are receiving unprecedented attention, the safety, life, and reliability of the early installations will dictate market acceptance for Lithium-Ion-powered advanced vehicles. In this session, we will discuss the methodology and results of life and safety tests and modeling aimed at estimating battery life and verifying safety under ordinary and abusive conditions.


Menahem Anderman
Session Chairman:
Joe LoGrasso, Engineering Manager, Global Battery Systems Engineering, General Motors

Mr. LoGrasso has worked at GM for 27 years including the past 20 in development of advanced propulsion technology and energy-storage systems for electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles. He was a key contributor to the GM's early electric drive programs including the EV1 Electric Vehicle, Precept and Autonomy Fuel Cell prototype vehicles, and most recently has led GM's technology development of Lithium-Ion batteries for GM's hybrid, Plug-in hybrid, and extended range electric vehicle programs including the GM Volt. He manages battery pack system requirements, performance & safety, as well as cell engineering, and he is responsible for battery technology assessment, qualification, and strategy.
