In my view, we’re at a critical junction in the history of the battery industry. Detroit offered me a unique vantage point across a variety of contexts last week: hosting Voltaiq’s user community at Formation — our annual summit, announcing our partnership with NOVONIX, leading a fireside chat with battery giga-veterans Bob Galyen and Celina Mikolajczak, presenting with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Siemens on digitizing battery factories, and hearing first-hand the challenges being faced and overcome by companies across the battery production lifecycle.   Read on for the 3 make-or-break takeaways from The Battery Show and what battery companies need to know heading into 2025. - Tal

Had a fantastic week in Turkey soaking up the great energy and warm welcome. The strong drive of Turkish battery companies to succeed and carve out their spot in the battery eco-system is real. A big shoutout to PiLDER and the Battery Technologies Summit for the great organization, and for inviting me to be a speaker on behalf of Voltaiq !

It's a special edition of Building Better Batteries! Last week, Nicholas Yiu attended the California Battery Manufacturing Summit in Berkeley, hosted by Berkeley Lab, SLAC, and Lawrence Livermore National Lab. There were plenty of discussions, but three key takeaways really stood out. In this special edition of Building Better Battieries, Nicholas pulls together highlights from his notes, cleaned up into a more readable format below. At a glance he covers: - California’s battery pilot: why it’s a big deal - Speed and standardization could save us all time. - Data: the "secret sauce" of manufacturing success

Why does ramping up a new gigafactory take years and cost billions? Walid Baroud will dive into the billion dollar battery production problem at the Battery Technologies Summit next week. Date: September 26th | Time: 14:50-15:25 Location: Battery Technologies Summit, Gebeze

Scaling up production for new battery technology involves trial and error. A well known North American gigafactory started production in 2017. By 2018 they were still scrapping 84% of their cells. It took them until early 2021 to reach a profitable level of both yield and throughput. We're talking to producers in Asia and Europe and two or so years into production who are still seeing scrap rates in the 40 to 60 percent range. Not only does this account for millions in wasted money and human resources, but battery scrap needs to be recycled at an additional cost. For new factories, faster yield ramp results in a shorter time to breakeven. You need a smaller capital investment and see faster payback. For established factories, just a few % higher yield can mean $100Ms more revenue. Having the insight to catch defective cells quickly, and correlate to upstream processes and inputs to fix the problem, dramatically increases that yield for faster yield ramp and larger margins. These insights live in the data you already collect off your production line–you just need to know where to look. #Batteries #BatteryManufacturing #BatteryAnalytics
