Batterieingenieure GmbH

The Battery Engineers – Your expert team for batteries.
BatterieIngenieure GmbH was founded in 2015 as an association of experienced engineers and physicists from battery research and manufacturing. We offer services for testing, modelling, diagnostics, battery development and small series production and advise companies on these areas. We deal with all electrochemical energy storage systems (primary and secondary batteries), as well as supercapacitors. As part of our integrated approach, we include thermal and mechanical storage systems under systemic and economic issues.
Services.
BatterieIngenieure GmbH offers battery-related services to its customers. The range of services includes testing of cells and batteries (electrical, thermal, mechanical as well as safety tests), algorithm development in diagnostics for lead-acid and Li-ion batteries as well as the development of simulation models. Furthermore, we advise on the optimal choice of storage technology, on questions regarding the safe operation of your storage as well as product identifcation and carry out analyses of failure causes.
Furthermore, we subject energy storage systems to electrical, thermal, and mechanical tests, while ensuring their operational safety. In doing so, we provide a precise characterisation of your specimens regarding durability, performance and safety. Besides initial characterisation, this helps ensure consistent product quality as part of quality assurance.
Since 2003, our battery development and manufacturing team deals with highly specialized Li-Ion battery systems for various applications. In battery development and manufacturing, we distinguish basically three areas: prototype development, limited productions series, and mass-series production. Component producibility and cost constitute decisive criteria in the latter case.
BatterieIngenieure is extremely pleased with the global appreciation and demand for its expertise. Our customers and partners are leading players in numerous industries including, among others, automotive, energy, maritime transport, aviation, etc. The close cooperation with the Department of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage Systems at RWTH Aachen allows the integration of current research topics in our projects via state-of-the-art technologies.

Pfeiffer Vacuum

Vacuum Technology and Vacuum Pumps from the leader
For 130 years, the name Pfeiffer Vacuum has served as a guarantee for advanced vacuum technology, high quality vacuum solutions and first-class service. We offer a wide range of process pumps for vacuum drying and electrolyte filling in R&D and Industry environments with outstanding performances for short cycle times and efficiency. With our leak detectors, we are able to leak test battery components, all cell types, battery modules and packs as well as cooling units. Furthermore, baseline investigations in the fields of humidity measurement, permeation and end-of-line testing are possible.
Li-ion batteries have become an integral part of our everyday life. They are used in mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones and other wearables. Batteries are even powering our cars. But how are these compact power storage devices manufactured and what does it all have to do with vacuum and leak detection?
The application of vacuum is required at various stages of production in the manufacture of Li-ion batteries: Vacuum is required during the mixing process of the so-called slurry, which is applied to the battery cell electrodes. The coil drying and electrolyte filling also takes place under vacuum.
In general, the pumps generate the vacuum which is needed for the different production processes. The pumps have to have a high resistance to poisonous and toxic fumes in drying, filling and formation processes. Pfeiffer Vacuum pumps generally are known to be robust and efficient to ensure sustainable production of Li-ion batteries.
