Optimizing Lithium-Ion Batteries with Machine Learning

Think of this as a super-smart lab assistant for battery scientists: it looks at huge amounts of test data from lithium-ion batteries and then suggests the best recipes and operating conditions to make batteries last longer, charge faster, and be safer—without having to run every experiment physically.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Reduces the time, cost, and trial-and-error needed to design and optimize lithium-ion batteries (materials, chemistry, and charging protocols), while improving performance, lifetime, and safety for grid storage, EVs, and consumer devices.

Value Drivers

Faster R&D cycles for new battery chemistries and cell designsReduced experimental and material costs via virtual experimentation and design-of-experiments guided by MLImproved cycle life and energy density of commercial cellsOptimization of charging/discharging protocols for safety and longevityCapability to explore large design spaces that are infeasible with manual testing

Strategic Moat

Proprietary datasets of battery performance and degradation, domain-specific ML models calibrated with electrochemical knowledge, and tight integration into lab workflows and test infrastructure.
