Axeon, Europe’s largest independent lithium-ion automotive battery systems supplier, has published a ‘Guide to Batteries’ to help industry stakeholders understand current battery technology and how it relates to the automotive sector.
As a world-leading battery systems integrator, and given the growth in automotive battery applications, Axeon is committed to providing clear knowledge and information on battery technology to promote greater understanding of how batteries can revolutionise the automotive industry.
The guide (available to download here) includes an introduction to different cell chemistries, as well as general information on how batteries work. Axeon also indicates some probable future developments and provides an overview of the Battery Management System, critical for safety and performance, and a discussion on charging and related infrastructure.

We are confident that this guide will be useful in providing not only an explanation of current systems, but also insights into how the technology is likely to develop.”
