| Abstract Scope |
The presentation will focus on the work of the newly formed Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI). Expanding on the work of the former Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC), the CBI aims to promote lead acid battery research and innovation. The focus of the CBI is on three areas – research and innovation, marketing and communications, and tests and standards. The CBI has developed clear research directions for the industry through the development of a Technical Roadmap focused on market-driven goals. End-user demand will be the cornerstone of technical projects from the CBI, with coordinated communications and marketing of the performance of lead acid batteries further supporting the market expansion of lead acid batteries. CBI is also working closely with several organizations to develop key life tests in automotive and grid energy storage applications. The current and future work of the CBI will drive lead acid batteries into the future. |
