A Field-Validated Framework That Exposes the Limits of SoH

Yanti repair fieldwork

Yanti Innovative Electromotive Solutions Pvt Ltd Abstract A module at 78% state-of-health (SoH) is scrapped as end-of-life; after reconditioning, it powers a stationary storage for three more years. Another at 82% SoH fails weeks into revival. Conventional metrics cannot explain the difference. Field analysis of >1,000 EV modules across platforms reveals that recoverability the probability … Read more

Pack Generations

battery pack generations

When we look at automotive battery pack design there have been a number of pack generations. The general theme is to simplify and hence reduce the cost. Initially we saw packs built from small modules of around 12 cells. The next step in pack generations is possibly going to be a cell to vehicle design. … Read more
