Supporting Advanced Research and Development Throughout the research and development process, BIC relies on Webasto’s equipment to collect critical data at every stage—from cells to modules and from modules to packs. The high fidelity of Webasto’s equipment ensures accurate data acquisition and analysis, which is essential for determining the performance and reliability of battery systems in real-world conditions. This capability is particularly important as the industry trends towards higher voltages and power systems, necessitating equipment that can handle extremely high currents. Real-World Application and Feedback BIC’s collaboration with Webasto extends beyond just equipment usage. Manufacturers bring their batteries to BIC for real-world evaluation, gaining invaluable feedback to improve their offerings. This collaborative approach allows BIC to work side-by-side with customers, offering a comprehensive prototype and research center that supports new materials, equipment, and software development. Training and Workforce Development In addition to testing, BIC is dedicated to workforce development. They offer training classes, including Battery 101 and Battery Technician courses. This educational initiative addresses the growing demand for skilled workers in the expanding battery industry in the United States. The Battery Innovation Center’s partnership with Webasto has been instrumental in their success, providing the tools and support needed to advance battery technology. Webasto’s equipment enables BIC to conduct thorough and precise testing, driving innovation and ensuring that battery systems are reliable and market ready. This collaboration exemplifies how strong partnerships can propel the battery industry forward, meeting the challenges of today and anticipating the needs of tomorrow.
