WORKING WITH LEADERS IN THE BATTERY INDUSTRY
Case Study: Porsche
CEO Gavin White's presentation on how we collaborated with Porsche, providing them an electrochemical model that they are able to utilise for fast-charging and degradation analysis.
Electrical Model
Electrical models predict the key cell-level quantities such as the voltage-current relationship and cell heat generation. Their blend of accuracy, flexibility, and speed makes them useful for a wide range of applications.
Thermal Model
Thermal models predict heat flow and the resulting temperature distribution. Our spatially resolved thermal models can capture the impact of cooling strategy and predict cell temperature away from the cell surface.
Electrochemical Model
The most advanced physics-based models on the market. These model the processes occurring throughout the cell, offering deep insight into battery physical states, unlocking optimisation opportunities.
FAQ
About:Energy accelerates battery development by providing high-precision battery models
and datasets based on exclusive IP. We gather detailed electrical and thermal parameters
from lithium-ion cells and offer white-box models that integrate seamlessly into tools like
COMSOL and MathWorks.By eliminating the need for costly in-house testing infrastructure,
we empower engineering teams to design, validate, and optimise battery systems more
efficiently.White-box models are highly transparent and customizable simulation tools. Unlike black-box models that provide limited insights into system behavior, our white-box models give users full access to the underlying equations and parameters. This enables deep understanding, modification, and optimization of battery behavior for specific applications, ensuring precise and actionable results.
Our battery models address a wide range of engineering challenges, including:
-
Cell Selection: Identifying the optimal cell for your application based on performance and thermal characteristics.
-
Pack Design: Optimising pack configurations to balance energy density, weight, and safety.
-
Thermal Management: Developing strategies to prevent overheating and ensure consistent performance.
-
Warranty Analysis: Predicting cell aging and degradation to assess and manage product lifecycles.
-
BMS Development: Supporting model-based design for Battery Management Systems to improve accuracy and control.
These use cases help engineering teams tackle the most critical aspects of battery design and performance optimisation.

All we require is a physical cell and its data sheet to create a customised model for you.
For enterprise customers, we enable tailored solutions to match your specific needs. This may involve:-
Specific application details (e.g., automotive, aviation).
-
Operating conditions, such as temperature ranges and charge/discharge cycles.
-
Battery cell specifications, including dimensions, chemistry, and desired performance parameters.

No, we do not use a subscription model. Our pricing is based on a project-by-project basis, depending on your requirements. This includes testing, parameterization, and model development tailored to your application. You pay for the tools and expertise you need, ensuring cost transparency and flexibility without ongoing fees.
Yes, we do! Please see our "Student Motorsport Sponsorship" page or email racing@aboutenergy.co.uk for more information.
Our Models & Data
Patented battery technology developed at top UK universities
The Status Quo
Sparse & complex manufacturer data
Manufacturers often don't provide transparent data. This hinders effective use in cell selection, pack design, and battery management.
Manufacturers often don't provide transparent data. This hinders effective use in cell selection, pack design, and battery management.
Time-consuming & redundant
Acquiring essential data like electrical performance and degradation is time-consuming and often duplicated across the industry.

Black-box models
Internal workings of the model are hidden, this makes it hard to understand how inputs are processed or how results are generated.
