Advances in battery technology are accelerating, and lithium chemistries lead the way. Energy densities are increasing, cell weights are decreasing and battery lives are lengthening, all at a dramatic rate. Costs, too, have declined, and the number of profitable energy storage applications has risen.
The 2018 Battery Performance Scorecard – which stems from DNV GL’s deep experience in battery testing at its BEST Test & Commercialization Center in Rochester, New York – will provide confidence in the quickly growing battery market and provide a roadmap for battery buyers to manage and operate specific battery technologies and estimate warranties and replacement costs.
