THIS Is What’s Really Going On Inside Batteries! with About:Energy
In this episode of the Fully Charged SHOW Imogen is joined by Dr. Gavin White, CEO and Co-founder of About:Energy. The company, a spinout from Imperial College London and the University of Birmingham, is building “digital twins” to model and measure battery characteristics to enable industries such as automotive, manufacturing, energy and aerospace to build more efficient battery systems, faster.
The team have recently partnered with McMurtry Automotive to enhance battery technology of the Spéirling PURE by testing and modelling of the ultra-high-power Molicel P50B lithium-ion battery cell to further enhance their battery pack.
