As battery technologies advance and consumers expect extended range and shorter charge times, using transient thermal simulation to predict battery performance has become increasingly crucial. Join us as we demonstrate how you can leverage TAITherm software and Battery Extension to accurately predict battery performance, lifetime, and safety in a wide range of real-world environmental conditions. We will show you how to simulate different usage scenarios, and how heat produced by the battery can lead to failure including thermal runaway. We will take you inside TAITherm software while exploring case studies and examples of past results.

Are you a new TAITherm user or just need a refresher on the basics? Follow along as Lauren, our talented thermal engineer shows you the components you need to create the best models for successful thermal analysis. She will bring you inside the software for a look at TAITherm’s modeling capabilities and the types of problems you can solve, as well as a mini heat transfer primer and sample transient modeling process.
