Battery design reviews
Our expert team can audit and optimise your battery pack design
Ensure compliance
Our expert teams conduct thorough design reviews to ensure compliance with industry standards, design best practices and market requirements, while at the same time looking for opportunities for improvement.
The review covers mechanical, electrical, thermal and BMS software items, as required by the customer.
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 the detailed review, we deliver a prioritized list of actionable design improvements focused on tangible results, and possible optimisations in the design such as simpler design assemblies, alternative materials, structure thickness, optimisation of EE architecture, HV busbar and LV cable routing, etc.
The result will be an upgraded pack design with better reliability, lower weight and at the same time lower cost.
Cost reduction
By optimizing mechanical structures, refining material selection, and improving manufacturing feasibility, we help reduce both the initial unit cost and long-term warranty costs.
With over 40 projects delivered to date, we have experience identifying opportunities to substitute high-cost parts with functionally equivalent, optimized alternatives that are tested in the market.
Jura Engineering also has strong relationship with various qualified global battery cell suppliers, and we can leverage these relationships to negotiate better terms for our customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
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 time 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.
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.
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.
