Can Advanced Safety Testing Ever Prevent Battery Failures?

Monday, 10 March 2025

Format: Talk/ Panel Session: 

As battery energy densities rise and architectures evolve, ensuring safety remains a top priority. While advanced testing methods, from accelerated aging to AI-driven fault detection, have improved risk mitigation, can failures ever be fully prevented? With thermal runaway still responsible for over 80% of battery-related safety incidents, engineers must refine testing protocols to catch potential failures before they occur. This session will examine the latest advancements in predictive safety testing and their real-world effectiveness. 

  

Key Themes: 

  

  • New methodologies for detecting battery defects 
  • The latest developments in mechanical and electrical abuse testing  
  • Thermal stability and propagation testing  
  • Overcharge and over-discharge testing
