Batteries are the most critical component for enabling electric mobility. Here at CART, We are working on a variety of battery research topics to play a leading role in India's energy transition. Supported by a team of experienced faculty members and graduate students and state-of-the-art battery testing facilities, We are investigating next-generation battery materials even beyond Lithium-ion, models to describe cell electrical characteristics for system integration, testing methods to accelerate cell qualification, machine learning-enabled algorithms for online health management, and strategies for efficient and reliable pack design and reuse.
