Problem
Existing lithium-ion battery management systems often fail to fully optimize charging profiles, leading to slower charging times and reduced battery lifespan for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and grid storage applications. Traditional methods may also require additional hardware, increasing system complexity and cost.
Solution
BattGenie offers a software-based battery management system that leverages physics-based models to dynamically optimize lithium-ion battery charging. The software analyzes a battery's internal state to control degradation, enabling faster charging without compromising safety or longevity. By precisely tailoring the charging process, BattGenie's solution extends battery lifespan and enhances performance. The software can be integrated into existing controllers, either on-board the device or on the charger, without the need for additional hardware components. This approach allows for seamless upgrades to existing systems, improving efficiency, safety, and durability.
