Pre-conference workshop presentation:
Technical developments for micro-hybrid applications
The lead battery industry provides safe, robust, and market-ready solutions for many different 12 V automotive applications, including micro-hybrid and low voltage EV/auxiliary use. CBI has outlined key performance indicators (KPIs) for these applications, which has served as the driving force for research to improve automotive batteries. Across the industry there have been improvements in 12 V automotive lead batteries motivated by the need for better products for hybrid and electric vehicles. This presentation will be an overview of the KPIs, current issues for automotive batteries, and some of the improvements that have occurred in the recent years.
