Boyd, a US-based developer of battery thermal propagation prevention and thermal runaway containment technology, has opened a battery material test laboratory in San Jose, California.
Equipped with comprehensive test equipment, onsite material samples and highly skilled personnel, the lab aims to enable faster thermal runaway prevention design cycles and shorter time to market.
The Boyd Battery Material Safety Lab evaluates material performance based on EV customer battery safety requirements and specifications. All essential battery material tests are consolidated into one lab for more efficient material validation including hot side/cold side, torch and grit, thermal conductivity, moisture resistance, compression force deflection and dielectric results.
Boyd’s EV battery material tests are structured to simulate highly varying and harsh real-world environmental conditions and safety challenges. This approach provides a repeatable test process for current thermal solutions.
In addition to testing, Boyd offers extensive simulation capabilities using its finite element analysis modeling software to predict the performance of different material combinations that meet customer specifications for battery thermal runaway prevention and containment as well as costs.
“Battery material validation is critical to EV safety and has traditionally been difficult to complete. We are helping our customers accelerate battery design and time-to-market cycles as a one-stop-shop to design, validate, and manufacture integrated thermal runaway prevention technologies,” said Michael Sutsko, Engineered Materials Division President at Boyd.
