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.
Learn how Lithium-ion Battery manufacturers can prevent battery fires.
Batteries pose chemical and physical hazards. Batteries can fail for many
reasons including short-circuiting, overcharging, or overheating. For Li-ion batteries, these failures can lead to dangerous propagations resulting in highly dangerous thermal runaway. To prevent battery fires, we must aim to understand how to prevent thermal
runaways. Quality control at every stage of battery manufacturing is an effective way to eliminate most defects and it is the responsibility of battery manufacturers to make the existing technology as safe as possible.
The Indiana Electric Vehicle Products Commission’s first report on Indiana’s EV products landscape puts our Hoosier state at the front of the pack for engaging industry.

The Automotive Industry initiated the beginning of a technical revolution in Indiana by cultivating research and pioneering products over the course of many decades. Although the local
automotive industry boom has grown immensely recently, Hoosier leaders have been developing the culture of innovation tediously with substantial attention to detail and rising trends.
