The Battery Technology Podcast

One of the challenges facing battery manufacturers is how to design and operate manufacturing facilities to minimise operational cost. One major consideration will always be how to achieve the desired level of climate control, I spoke with Andre Meyer of Munters to discuss best practice and how battery manufacturers can help themselves by taking the necessary steps to minimise adding to the heat load within a facility.   Speaker Notes: André Meyer , Head of Key Application Sales | Automotive & Battery at Munters GmbH https://www.linkedin.com/in/andr%C3%A9-meyer-441017115/   The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Munters - Global leaders in energy-efficient air treatment and climate solutions.   https://www.munters.com/en/   Vaisala - Accurate moisture and concentration measurements for battery manufacturing upstream, midstream and downstream operations.   www.vaisala.com/battery   The Gigafactory & Battery Manufacturing Expo | Huntsville | AL | June 2025   The perfect opportunity to explore the next stage of the battery revolution as we move from the laboratory into the battery manufacturing phase.   Held over two days and featuring a world class speaker agenda, thought-provoking seminars and a wide variety of product demonstrations, the event will showcase the development of Next Generation manufacturing equipment, services and facilities that will be needed to create a globally competitive battery manufacturing industry.   It’s the ideal way to connect with thousands of senior professionals across the rapidly developing battery manufacturing industry, looking to design, automate and operate the next generation of Gigafactories.

Lithium-Ion batteries have become the portable power technology of choice, the problem is, energy density improvements are not keeping pace with the ever-increasing demand for performance, and that’s a problem. One technology that has the potential to deliver a step change in performance is the development of silicon-based anodes, due to the far greater energy capacity of silicon compered to graphite. In this episode I’m joined by Jeff Helm of NanoGraf Corporation to discuss the potential benefits and challenges of developing silicon-based anodes.   Speaker Notes: Jeff Helm | VP of Sales and Marketing at NanoGraf Corporation https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-helm-38400511/   NanoGraf Corporation https://www.nanograf.com/     Show Notes: The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Munters - Global leaders in energy-efficient air treatment and climate solutions. https://www.munters.com/en/   Vaisala - Accurate moisture and concentration measurements for battery manufacturing upstream, midstream and downstream operations. www.vaisala.com/battery   The Gigafactory & Battery Manufacturing Expo | Huntsville | AL | June 2025 Held at the Von Braun Center, Huntsville, AL, the Gigafactory and Battery Manufacturing Expo provides the perfect opportunity to explore the next stage of the battery revolution as we move from the laboratory into the battery manufacturing phase.   Held over two days and featuring a world class speaker agenda , thought-provoking seminars, a wide variety of product demonstrations and networking opportunities, the event will showcase the development of next-generation manufacturing equipment, services and facilities that will be needed to create a globally competitive battery manufacturing industry   [email protected] https://gigafactoryexpo.com/   Advertising and Sponsorship For companies looking to reach a global audience of battery professionals, the Battery Technology Podcast is the perfect place to promote your products and services in a thought-provoking way.

In this series of podcasts, I often thought of the Battery industry as a whole, but in fact it is populated by individual businesses making individual product development decisions based on the needs of their market. And just how these businesses innovate is interesting. It’s also easy to concentrate on the EV market, but of course, the range of applications for batteries is enormous. In this episode I’m joined by Darren Brittain, Senior Director of Portfolio Strategy with Trojan Battery Company to discuss a very specific market, and how the move to Lithium-ion batteries helped deliver enhanced performance.   Speaker Notes: Darren Brittain, Senior Director of Portfolio Strategy with Trojan Battery Company https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-brittain-mba-502ba366/   Trojan Battery Company https://www.trojanbattery.com/?utm_source=Battery_Technology_Podcast&utm_medium=Website_Link&utm_campaign=2024_Lithium_Golf&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_language=English&utm_date=&utm_marketing_program=Lithium&utm_region=EMEA&utm_category=OnePack&utm_call_to_action=&utm_other=   Show Notes: The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Munters - Global leaders in energy-efficient air treatment and climate solutions. https://www.munters.com/en/   Vaisala - Accurate moisture and concentration measurements for battery manufacturing upstream, midstream and downstream operations. www.vaisala.com/battery   The Gigafactory & Battery Manufacturing Expo | Huntsville | AL | June 2025 Held at the Von Braun Center, Huntsville, AL, the Gigafactory and Battery Manufacturing Expo provides the perfect opportunity to explore the next stage of the battery revolution as we move from the laboratory into the battery manufacturing phase.   Held over two days and featuring a world class speaker agenda , thought-provoking seminars, a wide variety of product demonstrations and networking opportunities, the event will showcase the development of Next Generation manufacturing equipment, services and facilities that will be needed to create a globally competitive battery manufacturing industry   [email protected] https://gigafactoryexpo.com/   Advertising and Sponsorship For companies looking to reach a global audience of battery professionals, the Battery Technology Podcast is the perfect place to promote your products and services in a thought-provoking way.

The Battery Technology Podcast | Episode 31 | Exploring the Cost Drivers of Battery Manufacture | Aaron Wade | CRU Group   I recently read a very interesting report describing the key cost drivers of battery manufacture, particularly in regard to Chinese manufacturing. How do they achieve the battery costs they do? and what are the lessons for US and European battery manufacturers.   In this episode I’m joined by Aaron Wade of CRU Group, the author that report. Aaron leads CRU's battery cost modelling and analytics, and together we explore the production costs of current and next-generation battery technologies and the implications for battery manufacturers.   Speaker Notes:   Aaron Wade, Head of Battery Costs, CRU https://lnkd.in/et7d_xRs   CRU Group https://lnkd.in/ewvrM2Mh   Show Notes:   The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Munters - Global leaders in energy-efficient air treatment and climate solutions.   https://www.munters.com/en/   Vaisala - Accurate moisture and concentration measurements for battery manufacturing upstream, midstream and downstream operations.   www.vaisala.com/battery   The Gigafactory & Battery Manufacturing Expo | Huntsville | AL | June 2025   The perfect opportunity to explore the next stage of the battery revolution as we move from the laboratory into the battery manufacturing phase.   Held over two days and featuring a world class speaker agenda, thought-provoking seminars and a wide variety of product demonstrations, the event will showcase the development of Next Generation manufacturing equipment, services and facilities that will be needed to create a globally competitive battery manufacturing industry.   It’s the ideal way to connect with thousands of senior professionals across the rapidly developing battery manufacturing industry, looking to design, automate and operate the next generation of Gigafactories.
