Total Battery Consulting Industry Reports
Stay informed! Purchase Total Battery Consulting Industry Reports to hone your internal business assessments, add depth to your analysis, and sharpen your strategic planning.The energy-storage industry is entering a period of rapid growth. Vehicle electrification is gaining momentum with 25-50% annual growth expected for the foreseeable future. The large, low-cost, high-performance batteries under development to meet automotive requirements are also gradually enabling other new, evolving markets, including specialized tools, utility storage, and off-road applications. It is prime time to invest in research, new materials, components, and production processes. But wise investments, by corporations or financial institutions anywhere along the supply chain, require insightful, comprehensive, and unbiased analyses of key parameters.
This is where the industry reports of Total Battery Consulting come in! In 2018 we are offering five reports, all geared to provide critical information on some key aspects of advanced-battery technology, applications, and markets.

Li Ion Battery Safety and Abuse Tolerance. Safety concerns arise when batteries are abused, used outside the design’s operational space, poorly designed, or beyond useful life. Heat generation and gas generation are the most common responses of batteries to abusive conditions--the most serious consequences occur when the stored energy is rapidly released in an unintended manner, triggering thermal runaway. December 2017 edition available.
