BATTERY DESIGN REVIEWS
A team of experts ready to optimise your battery pack design and de-risk your project
Expert review
Our team of experienced battery engineers conduct comprehensive design reviews to assess design robustness and compliance with industry standards, engineering best practices and lessons learned. We also identify opportunities to improve performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
An independent design review reduces programme risk, identifies issues before production, and builds confidence ahead of validation, certification, and vehicle launch.
Design optimization
With over 10 years of experience designing EV battery packs, we have the knowledge to identify risks that others might miss, and the experience to provide suitable solutions that translates directly to field reliability
Following our detailed review, we provide a prioritised list of actionable recommendations.
The result is a battery pack that is more reliable, lighter, easier to manufacture and more cost-effective, without compromising performance or safety.
Cost reduction
By optimizing mechanical structures, electrical design, materials, components selection, and improving manufacturability, we can reduce both the unit cost and long-term warranty costs. Having delivered more than 40 battery projects we know where meaningful savings can be made without compromising quality.
Working with OEMs and battery suppliers gives us early insight into new technologies and design approaches, helping us deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions for our customers.
Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
What are the key considerations for battery pack design?
When designing battery packs, key considerations include safety, performance, weight, cost target, and compliance with industry/market requirements. Our design review processes takes into consideration all these factors when proposing optimisations.
How long does it take to do a design review?
The duration depends on the agreed scope of the review and on the quantity/quality of the data provided. We aim to meet the timing requirements of all our customers.
Can you review BMS software and diagnostics?
Yes, we provide detailed reviews covering all major functions such as SOx algorithm, power and current limits, thermal logic, periodic wake ups, etc. We also perform detailed diagnostics reviews and simplification for nuisance-fault reduction and better serviceability.
What certifications are required for battery packs?
The certifications needed are largely dependant on the target markets for the battery packs. In general battery packs must comply with various certifications, including UN regulations for transport, market requirements, and specific ISO and automotive safety standards. We can help you understanding these requirements and ensure compliance. For EU market information, you can find more information here.
How does design optimization impact battery performance?
Design optimization can significantly enhance battery performance by reducing weight and cost while improving performance. Our optimisation process involves analysing mechanical, thermal and electrical design to achieve the best possible outcomes for the required application.
