As part of its outreach and knowledge-sharing activities, DigiCell hosted its third public workshop on 18 November 2025, focusing on battery testing across pilot lines and real-world applications—from individual cells to full battery packs.
The event brought together around 20 participants from the project’s stakeholder community, creating an interactive setting for discussions and exchange. The workshop featured a series of expert presentations highlighting key aspects of battery innovation, including new chemistries, advanced testing methods, and the integration of modelling and artificial intelligence into production processes.
Among the topics presented were pilot-line characterisation beyond traditional lithium-based chemistries, AI-supported modelling approaches, and detailed testing of battery modules and packs. These insights reflected DigiCell’s broader goal of enhancing battery performance and reliability through improved testing and simulation techniques.
Digital twins and advanced testing methods in focus
A key theme of the workshop was the role of digital twins and virtual testing in modern battery development. Researchers demonstrated how simulation models—based on real measurement data—can be used to validate battery designs before physical testing, significantly reducing development time and costs.
Participants engaged in detailed discussions on practical testing methods such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and pulse testing, raising questions about measurement accuracy, sampling rates, and end-of-line testing procedures. These exchanges highlighted the importance of combining theoretical modelling with hands-on testing expertise to improve battery quality and production efficiency.
By bringing together experts from research and industry, the workshop provided valuable insights into how advanced testing and modelling approaches can be applied across the battery value chain—from early-stage development to deployment in real-world applications.
