On this page we present an overview of the different Labs, the process chain and highlights of the equipment employed for each process step.
The BLB holds the technical equipment to analyze large-size traction batteries as well as battery modules and packs. Our infrastructure allows us to answer fundamental and application-oriented research questions.
A focus is put on flexible production strategies and process technologies to increase energy density, quality and safety of traction batteries considering electrical, electrochemical, constructive, environmental, and economic aspects.
