As the automotive industry electrifies a larger percentage of vehicles, the safety aspects of energy storage in lithium-ion batteries are increasingly important. SwRI has developed a structural model capable of predicting mechanically induced internal short-circuits in lithium-ion batteries. This webinar will discuss the destructive tests used to develop the model along with the process of building the model to represent single battery cells, mid-sized battery modules, and large battery packs. Discussion Topics: - Lithium-ion Battery Introduction and Modeling Background, Bapiraju Surampudi: An introduction to Lithium-ion battery technology with a review of the current state of battery abuse modeling - Mechanical Abuse Model Development, Matthew Hoffmeyer: An overview of the structural model development with comparison to test data ## Watch the Recording Please complete the form to view this webinar.
