The Munich Battery Lab focuses on testing lithium-ion batteries for performance and stability under predefined environmental conditions. Within six months, the two Munich-based companies built a testing infrastructure based on the latest technology for battery testing. The laboratory, with more than 100 square meters of space, enables the analysis of different cell types in the battery at currents ranging from one to several hundred amperes. Ten temperature chambers can create test environments ranging from -20°C to +80°C.
Munich Battery Lab: “Supporting the expansion of renewable energies”
The company's customers should thus gain a better understanding of battery behavior and be able to optimize their battery development. Twaice wants to generate additional data for its battery analytics.
"The Munich Battery Lab will make an important contribution to analyzing battery aging and behavior in depth. As part of the Twaice Battery Research Center, we can further improve our software and, together with our partner Vispiron, make an important contribution to environmentally friendly mobility and energy,"
says Twaice co-founder Michael Baumann. The second co-founder and managing director Stephan Rohr says:
“The lab also helps battery storage systems better balance the volatility of power grids and support the expansion of renewable energies.”
Munich's Second Mayor Katrin Habenschaden says at the opening of the laboratory:
"I am very proud of this location. If you want to pursue sustainable and successful economic policy today, you have to invest every available euro in developing innovation spaces. We can celebrate the Munich Battery Lab as a best-practice example."
