LG Energy Solution partners with US firm for EV battery management solutions
The Korea Times - LG
Energy Solution (LGES), Korea's leading battery maker, said Wednesday it has
signed an initial pact with a U.S. company to strengthen the competitiveness of
its electric vehicle (EV) battery management solutions.
LGES has signed a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Analog Devices (ADI) to jointly develop
a technology that could precisely measure the internal temperatures of EV
battery cells, the company said in a statement.
The existing battery
management system cannot measure the exact temperature inside an individual
battery cell in real time. So a battery's safe charging temperature must be set
to a conservative number, limiting opportunities to further enhance charging speeds,
the statement said.
Under the MOU, ADI
will supply high-performance battery management integrated circuits (BMICs) for
the LGES' EV battery management system for the next two years, the statement
said.
"We are
enthusiastic to keep working together with LG Energy Solution to bring
state-of-the-art and efficient batteries to the market and to further advance
the clean energy ecosystem," said Roger Keen, general manager in charge of
the battery management division at ADI.
Through the
partnership, LGES aims to enhance its technological prowess and deliver
differentiated value to its customers, LGES Vice President Lee Dal-hoon said.
