Battery packs
Battery packs are a complex component of modern electric vehicles. They consist of control systems, thermal systems, mechanical structures, state-of-the-art battery cells, and system integration. This broad set of requirements aligns well with Schaeffler's core technologies and offers many opportunities to apply innovation to improve performance, safety, and reliability.
Our product lineup includes a battery management system that incorporates intelligent algorithms supported by the deep knowledge acquired by Schaeffler's battery cell team. This means that we understand the chemistry and physical characteristics of the cell, and we perform performance and lifecycle testing in-house. We can also conduct post-mortem analysis to tune battery models and define appropriate usage profiles.
