What makes a high-performance battery cell? In this hands-on advanced module, you will dissect various cell formats – from pouch cells to cylindrical cells – and analyze their materials and how they work. Using a specialized tool, you will design your own battery cell, test different designs, and present your results as a team. This will help you understand not only the technical fundamentals but also the challenges involved in designing and optimizing battery cells. Ideal for engineers, designers, and professionals with a basic technical understanding.

The future of battery technology isn’t created in the lab alone—it’s brought to life in industrial practice. That’s exactly where we come in. Visit us at the Battery Show Europe 2026 in Hall 1, Booth A045, and learn how we help companies across the entire battery value chain successfully bring innovations to market.

The seminar week provides a thorough understanding of the technical, regulatory, and safety-related requirements for battery systems for dual-use applications. Experts from research and industry provide insights into safety concepts, system architectures, regulatory frameworks, and current developments.

With the Battery Production Days, the organizers of the successful Electric Vehicle Production Days are introducing a new focus: battery production. Following the successful launch in Münster in 2025, the Campus Forum, the PEM Chair at RWTH Aachen University, and Fraunhofer FFB invite you to the next edition of the event on October 20 and 21, 2026, in Aachen. The focus is on the key technology of batteries. Look forward to an exciting exhibition and a high-caliber conference featuring sessions on topics such as »Innovations in the Manufacturing Process«, »Scaled Battery Cell Production«, and »Quality Assurance and Modern Factory Planning«.
