IQPC is Organizing the 2nd International Congress Advanced Battery Technologies

Frankfurt, Germany, April 26, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The need for reliable batteries is increasing worldwide. The marketability of electric vehicles is especially pushing the battery development. At the moment Lithium-ion batteries seem to meet best the demands for enhanced energy storage. But there are still many drawbacks that industry is currently trying to overcome: energy density has to be increased, the life span needs to be extended and the thermal stability to be optimised. The industry is putting a lot of effort in the research in the field of cell chemistry developments, new materials and nanotechnology.

The first congress day on Tuesday, 30th June 2009 is concentrating on latest developments in battery technologies, innovative materials and components for Li-ion batteries and will focus the question: “Is Lithium-ion the ideal battery?” Gianni Sartorelli (Maxwell Technologies Inc., Switzerland) will give an insight into the topic „Combining batteries and ultracapacitors“.

On Wednesday, 1st July 2009 they will focus on intelligent batteries for the automotive industry and on strategies how to successfully meeting technical challenges. The attendees will hear about the “Aging behaviour of ultra high power Li-ion batteries” from the expert of Energy Storage Components Dr. Olaf Böse (Continental AG).

Amongst other questions the interactive workshop day on Thursday, 2nd July will be facing the problems of Battery Management Systems for EV and HEV.

The conference addresses to experts from (Pre-) R&D Batteries & Energy Storage, Electronics, E/E-Systems, Energy Management, Electrical Powertrains, Hybrid Engine Development, Business Development, Marketing and Sales.
