ODON, Ind. – The first Battery Innovation Center Commercialization Forum was hosted by Purdue@Westgate on May 7 at WestGate Academy.
The BIC Forum brings together economic development officials, startup founders, engineers and tech leaders in the battery industry from across the nation to collaborate toward accelerating commercialization of leading-edge battery technology.
Battery cell fabrication consists of several steps, including electrode slurry mixing, electrode coating and drying, electrode calendering/densification, electrode slitting, cell fabrication, electrolyte filling, and electrochemical testing.
BIC partners with Webasto to utilize their advanced battery testing equipment for comprehensive module and pack level evaluation. This includes environmental chambers and high-power cyclers
