Axeon, Europe’s largest independent lithium-ion automotive battery systems supplier, has published a ‘Guide to Batteries’ to help industry stakeholders understand current battery technology and how it relates to the automotive sector.
A world-leader in battery systems, Axeon is committed to providing clear knowledge and information on battery technology to promote greater understanding of how batteries can revolutionise the motor industry, the firm says.
The guide (available to download at www.axeon.com/News-and-Events/News.aspx) includes an introduction to different cell chemistries, as well as general information on how batteries work. The guide also hints at some probable future developments within the sector and provides an overview of the Battery Management System, critical for safety and performance, and a discussion on charging and related infrastructure.
Lawrence Berns, Axeon CEO, commented: “Battery technology will play a major role in product development across all sectors of the automotive industry with the continual drive to reduce vehicle emissions. We are confident that this guide will be useful in providing not only an explanation of current systems, but also insights into how the technology is likely to develop.”
The UK-based firm has industry-leading R&D programmes focused on improving the commercial viability of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Cars and vans powered by Axeon have already driven around a million miles on European and US roads and are manufactured in the UK.
