1st Battery Safety and 6th Lithium Mobile Power Conferences to Be Held in Boston

The Knowledge Foundation has announced that the 1st Battery Safety and 6th Lithium Mobile Power conferences will be held in Boston, MA next week from November 3-5, 2010 at the Hilton Boston Back Bay.

According to Dr. Serge Pann, Vice President of Science & Technology at the Knowledge Foundation, "Recent significant innovations have propelled lithium-ion battery technology to a position in the marketplace far exceeding initial expectations. From a vast array of portable applications, to micro medical devices, to high-power automotive, these breakthroughs have paved the way for an emerging market with unlimited potential." At the same time, widely publicized safety incidents and recalls of lithium-ion batteries have raised legitimate concerns regarding lithium-ion battery safety. Battery Safety 2010 will address these concerns by exploring the following topics:

* Application specific battery safety issues affecting battery performance

* Major battery degradation and reliability factors

* Battery management systems

* Commercial cells evaluation and failure analysis

* Advances in testing techniques and protocols

* High throughput testing, automation and modeling for better safety

* Regulatory issues

Lithium Mobile Power 2010 will guide attendees from technology and materials development through device packaging and integration to applications in a mobile power marketplace. Program topics include:

* Li-ion batteries for PHEV, HEV, and EV - issues and solutions

* Revolutionizing Li-ion batteries for portable and consumer products

* Materials challenges - electrodes & electrolyte

* New electrolyte technologies for higher power and energy density

* System design & integration

* New lithium chemistries for better electrodes and higher performance

For those unable to attend this conference in person, it will be possible to participate virtually via live webcast.
