The benchmarking on BatteryDesign.net is done using information found in an array of sources that we pull together, check, cross-correlate and run calculations on.
This allows us to add insights into the benchmarks whether they are cells, components or complete battery packs.
Cell Benchmarking
Here we look at the specification sheet, data published online, technical papers and products that use the cell.
We have detailed benchmark pages that are free to access and an excel spreadsheet where we have brought all of the information together for a lot of cells.
Pack Benchmarking
The pack benchmarking looks mostly at automotive battery packs, how they are constructed, their electrical and thermal performance. Detailed pack benchmarking pages are again backed up by an extensive excel database of packs.
