Prototypical structure of a battery.

In the field of battery prototyping and production, we develop battery systems tailored to the specific application for our customers. One of our core topics is the construction of prototypes for special thermal requirements. Lightweight battery packs are another example of the specific application of our know-how.

Prototype Development

Common challenges in the development of battery systems are the topics of cell selection, functional component selection and volume or weight optimization. We develop special applications that can be used in lightweight construction or in high-current applications. We suggest suitable battery cells, procure or develop suitable battery management systems and dimension all components for the corresponding application of our customers, in order to be able to jointly approach the transfer of a prototype into demonstrator and production.

Highly Integrated Sensor Technology

The integration of sensors in battery systems allows additional value to be generated. In addition to temperature sensors, it is useful to know the pressure distribution curves, which allow an assessment of the mechanical stability during operation. These sensors can be connected by cable or wirelessly, as is the case with battery management.

Our R&D-Services on the Topic "Development of Battery Systems" Include:

  • Development of module and system prototypes, e.g. high-current applications
  • Lightweight construction / weight optimization for battery systems
  • Functional integration in battery systems - highly integrated sensor technology
  • Taking into account the hurdles in manufacturing requirements during prototype development
