Outdoor safe charging energy manufacturing energy storage workshop

What is a Battery Expo?

Companies that design and manufacture battery cells and packs, including lithium-ion, solid-state, and next-generation batteries. These exhibitors focus on creating safer, more reliable battery systems for electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage, and consumer electronics.

What is a battery state of charge (SOC)?

Another important parameter is the state of charge (SOC), which represents the battery’s current energy level as a percentage of its total capacity. Overcharging a battery, or charging it beyond its recommended SOC limit, can lead to reduced efficiency, shorter lifespan, and safety risks.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have become a cornerstone of modern energy infrastructure. They enable the seamless integration of renewable energy sources, enhance grid stability, and provide reliable backup power.

How are emerging battery technologies affecting safety standards?

Emerging battery technologies, such as solid-state, lithium-sulfur, and sodium-ion batteries, are not only innovative but also face new regulatory scrutiny. How evolving regulations are impacting the safety standards for these new chemistries, and what manufacturers need to consider to stay ahead of compliance challenges.

Why is load management important when discharging a battery?

Load management is equally important during discharging. If the connected load demands more power than the battery can safely supply, it can strain the system, leading to overheating or damage. Operators should ensure that the load remains within the battery’s rated output capacity.
