Metis Engineering’s Battery Safety Sensor monitors pack health, detects cell venting

Charged

Metis Engineering’s Battery Safety Sensor is designed to monitor the health of a lithium-ion battery pack and detect cell venting, an early sign of catastrophic battery failure. The sensor can also trigger a process to cut the circuit to the battery pack, allowing it to cool down and hopefully prevent thermal runaway.

New battery structure relies on internal thermal modulation to increase charging speed

Charged

The researchers describe their work in “ Fast charging of energy-dense lithium-ion batteries ,” published in Nature. Historically, they have relied on external, bulky heating and cooling systems to regulate battery temperature, but these respond slowly and waste a lot of energy. Source: Penn State.
