AI is with us and it’s being incorporated into battery management systems (BMS), but its implementation faces challenges, writes Peter Donaldson.
Machine learning (ML) is applied to improve the accuracy of state estimation, with neural networks and support vector machines analysing historical data, and driving patterns and environmental conditions to estimate, predict and optimise battery states of charge, health and power.

The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan is working with NGK Insulators to standardise evaluation methods for measuring thermal diffusivity of thin substrates, writes Nick Flaherty.
OsecoElfab has developed a family of pressure-relief systems for lithium ion battery applications for heavy-duty, offroad e-mobility applications, writes Nick Flaherty.
The low-profile, specialised, metal rupture discs support custom battery design to improve safety. They provide robust emergency relief and pressure equalisation in a single device in the event of outgassing by the battery cells.
Ilika in the UK is building a roll-to-roll production line for solid-state battery cells, writes Nick Flaherty.
The company has been working with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) to scale up the production equipment for the line, and with Mpac on the development of its solid-state battery cells.
Grayson Thermal Systems has unveiled a new generation of high-voltage PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) electric water heaters engineered specifically for heavy-duty electrified applications. The EW series (EW3, EW4, and EW5) represents a significant advancement in auxiliary heating solutions for both electric and hydrogen fuel cell powertrains operating in thermal-critical environments.
Hyundai Mobis has developed a ‘pulsating’ heat-pipe (PHP) material to improve the thermal performance of battery packs during fast charging. It aims to prevent overheating during the ultra-fast charging of EVs, writes Nick Flaherty.
ABB E-mobility have announced the expansion of its comprehensive EV charging portfolio, based on platforms addressing critical usability, reliability and scalability challenges that have hampered mass EV adoption. With the expansion of this portfolio through three new charging products: the field-upgradable A200/300 All-in-One
A new leak-free casting process that could revolutionise the efficiency of liquid cold plates has been introduced by leading thermal management solution innovator Baknor. The ‘Zero Zleak’ method promises to enhance the performance and reliability of cooling systems for high-power batteries and power electronics and set new industry standards.
John Deere Electronics have announced the commercial availability of its high-performance vision processing unit (VPU), a core component behind the company's See & Spray technology.
