Voltaiq

If there's one takeaway from InterBattery 2025, it's that there are ways to work smarter–automation, real-time analysis, and scalable infrastructure can transform how data informs production. In this edition of Building Better Batteries, Nicholas Yiu shares a bit about his trip to Korea with the main takeaway... that we need to move beyond legacy methods to keep pace. Also in this edition: - Nicholas Yiu is sitting down with Michael Liu from Volta Foundation to break down the 2024 Battery Report - Tal Sholklapper and Daniel Torelli are hosting a series on how to Ensure EV & BESS quality in a world of inconsistent cell quality - Upcoming industry events include International Battery Seminar, Energize Capital's Sustainable Innovation Summit, and The Battery Show Dubai

Tal Sholklapper sat down with Puneet Sinha and Hari G. on Siemens' The Battery Podcast to discuss the challenges faced by gigafactories and how a data-driven approach drives faster ramp-ups and lower scrap rates. Between when issues are identified and they’re able to remediate them, companies spend months piecing it all together. You can’t take that long anymore. These multi-year ramp-ups, these high scrap rates or high return rates if stuff actually makes it into the field prevent you from hitting the low price points that are demanded by the market. Data-driven manufacturing gives you the infrastructure to not only collect that data, but actually learn from it and make it useful decisions, specifically around ramping up factories and ensuring the quality of the cells and devices going forward.

Finished up day one at InterBattery! Meet up with Eli Leland and Nicholas Yiu at booths P411-414 to learn how global OEMs and battery companies are using Voltaiq to catch battery issues and deliver products faster with data they already collect. #InterBattery

Heading to InterBattery next week? Meet up with Eli Leland and Nicholas Yiu and learn how Voltaiq is helping global companies catch battery issues within hours of production or early in validation, weeks sooner than traditional quality control methods.

Don't miss this week's live conversation with Erika Lauren Guerrero of Electric Goddess... Lessons Learned: Why Qualification & Design Matter. Learn how to mitigate safety and warranty risks associated with defective battery cells and systems. We'll discuss: - The risks and common defects associated with lower-quality cells. - The importance of thorough qualification testing for reliability and performance. - Advanced techniques to identify defects and enhance safety and performance. - How cell-level issues influence battery pack quality and manufacturability.

Blind trust in battery suppliers are costing companies billions. In this edition of Building Better Batteries, Nicholas Yiu shares his thoughts on the Samsung SDI recall, and why the battery sector keeps repeating the same mistakes. Also in this edition: - Kevin N. Wood, Ph.D. shares his latest Battery Bite on APP (analytical pulsing protocol) - Dr. Veronika Wright sits down with Tal Sholklapper and Eli Leland to discuss the state of battery AI in 2025, and the importance of digital infrastructure - Tomorrow's technical webinar with NOVONIX with Stephen Glazier and Kevin N. Wood, Ph.D.: Accelerating battery manufacturing scale up by catching early quality issues with UHPC - Meet up with Voltaiq at International Battery Seminar next month in Orlando, FL - Two upcoming virtual events, Lessons Learned: Why Qualification & Design Matter with Erika Lauren Guerrero of Electric Goddess and Data-Driven Pack Design & Manufacturing with Walid Baroud and Daniel Torelli
