The SmartCells project aims to develop an intelligent battery cell solution that provides several benefits:
- It embeds monitoring, communication, and control functions directly inside each battery cell to improve safety, performance, and lifetime.
- This distributed intelligence approach reduces wiring complexity and costs compared to traditional battery management systems.
- The SmartCells solution is intended to support battery manufacturing, electric vehicles, energy storage, and recycling/repurposing through improved performance, simplified integration, and reduced costs across the battery value chain.
