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. 

Battery development is long &
hard — but it doesn't have to be.

Sparse & complex manufacturer data

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. 

The Status Quo

Transparency & control

Look under the hood. We provide full visibility into the model’s inner workings allows engineers to understand, trust, and modify it as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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.

    If you're unsure or have more questions about the requirements, please email sales@aboutenergy.co.uk for more information. 

  • Yes, we do! Please see our "Student Motorsport Sponsorship" page or email racing@aboutenergy.co.uk for more information.
