Italian battery maker Flash Battery has formed a partnership with ETP, a Swedish system integrator that develops electrified systems for industrial and marine applications. The agreement is aimed at OEMs in the Nordic countries, and the two companies say it will let them engineer lithium batteries, power electronics and software as one integrated system.
ETP is part of the Volito Industry Group and develops electric drivetrains, power electronics, hydraulics and mechatronics for OEMs building agricultural machinery, material handling equipment, construction equipment and off-highway and marine vehicles. Flash Battery has designed custom lithium battery systems for industrial machinery and electric vehicles since 2012, and manages production in-house at its headquarters in Sant’Ilario d’Enza, Italy.
Flash Battery says this is not a traditional distribution agreement but a technical and application support structure, intended to guide Northern European OEMs from system architecture definition through to complete integration, and from prototype development to serial production.
Flash Battery’s proprietary BMS, the Flash Balancing System, maintains cell balancing and uses impedance spectroscopy to monitor cell health and detect degradation. Battery data feeds the Flash Data Center, the company’s cloud monitoring platform, which Flash Battery says applies machine learning to installations worldwide for self-diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
ETP joins a European network of system integration partners that Flash Battery has built across Europe, after Atech in Germany, Q-Tronic in the Netherlands and Paul Forrer in Switzerland.
“Through their modular battery platform, Flash Battery can develop everything from small to large battery systems while maintaining the same integration approach regardless of battery size,” said Christer Sigurd, CEO of ETP.
