2021 ME Battery Life Detector
Andrew Weng, Mechanical Engineering PhD Student, and Anna Stefanopoulou, William Clay Ford Professor of Technology, identify an early-life diagnostic signal that predicts the impact of the formation protocols on battery life without needing cycle life testing at 1015 Auto Lab on North Campus of the University of Michigan on October 15, 2021.
The technique can be deployed in battery manufacturing settings rapidly and at no additional cost. The newly discovered method can help battery manufacturers optimize their formation protocols and ensure that automotive-grade batteries can be both affordable and long-lasting.
