Predictive maintenance is a proactive maintenance strategy that harnesses data analytics, and machine learning to predict when an equipment or a machinery is likely to fail. Through the analysis of historical and real-time data, predictive maintenance algorithms have the capability to forecast potential issues, enabling timely interventions before failures transpire. This method differs from the […]

As the demand for battery management modeling increases with the growth of the Electrical Vehicle (EV) industry, the choice between physics-based and data-driven approaches has become a crucial decision for developing accurate battery diagnostics estimation. Physics-model based approach The physics-based approach involves using complex mathematical equations formulated from domain knowledge to estimate battery performance, while […]

Thermal runaway is a critical issue in battery technology, especially Lithium based ones, characterized by a rapid and uncontrollable rise in temperature beyond safe limits. This phenomenon can lead to cell and battery failures, as well as fires and explosions that put the vehicle and the user life at risk. The heat generated by the […]

In the last article, we discussed battery fires and the hazards it poses. In an EV, there are several degrees of fire safety. There are safety measures at cell level and battery pack level to prevent short circuits and other failures that may result in overheating and thermal runaway in an ideal condition.  Few protection […]

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular across the world. While the risks associated with conventional vehicles are well-defined and generally accepted by society, time and education are needed to achieve this comfort level for Li-ion battery-powered vehicles.If Li-ion batteries are damaged there is a significant risk of electric vehicles catching fire. Even after the […]

  As the world’s reliance on lithium battery technology grows, supplies of essential production materials are not expected to keep up with demand. Repurposed electric vehicle Li-ion electric car batteries provide a feasible option for reducing the quantity of retired lithium-ion batteries that wind up in landfills and extending their useful life while end-of-life alternatives, […]

Ubiquitous Li-ion batteries find applications in automobiles, consumer electronics, appliances and medical equipment. They are currently in the spotlight due to the expected boom in the electric mobility space. On one hand, manufacturers look to increase cell capacity (measured in Ah), keeping the size as small as possible, and on the other hand, they look […]
