Experts to Discuss Critical E-Mobility Battery Pack Design Challenges
Battery engineers in the rapidly expanding electric mobility sector are facing mounting pressure to develop battery packs that not only meet performance demands but also prioritize safety, longevity, and mass-producibility. Addressing these crucial aspects, a forthcoming expert-led webinar will delve into the intricate design and material challenges confronting today’s battery engineers.
Key Insights into Safer E-Mobility Battery Design
The webinar, scheduled for March 10, 2026, at 9:15 am EDT, will feature insights from Joe Staller, Senior R&D Chemist at Epic Resins, and Luke Workman, Chief Scientist at Electric Goddess. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of why safety must be an intrinsic part of the design process from its inception, highlighting the pivotal role of material selection in achieving this goal.
A significant focus will be placed on the advantages of utilizing non-cellular elastomer potting. This approach is highlighted as a method for substantially extending the operational lifespan of battery packs. The discussion will particularly emphasize how these non-cellular elastomers offer superior performance compared to traditional foam materials, both in terms of manufacturability and structural resilience.
Advancing Battery Pack Durability and Reliability
Staller and Workman are set to explore the far-reaching impact of early-stage design decisions. These choices, they argue, have a direct bearing on the overall safety, reliability, production efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of battery systems. The webinar aims to illustrate how the complete potting of battery packs provides robust protection against a range of environmental and operational hazards.
Specifically, fully potted battery packs are expected to offer enhanced defense against corrosion, the critical risk of thermal runaway, the stresses of thermal cycling, and damaging vibrations. Furthermore, this method is presented as a means to simplify manufacturing processes and reduce associated downtime when contrasted with the use of foam-based solutions.
A Holistic Approach to E-Mobility Battery Systems
The webinar is designed to benefit a wide audience, including engineers and designers working on battery packs for electric vehicles (EVs), e-bikes, and various industrial mobility systems. The session intends to challenge conventional design paradigms and demonstrate how more intelligent material choices can lead to the development of safer, more durable, and highly efficient battery systems without necessitating any compromises on core functionality.
