About Waikato Battery Team

Based on 11 years of research, the University of Waikato Battery Team has discovered that the failure of current rechargeable battery management systems (BMS) to reliably predict state-of health (SoH) and state of charge (SoC) can be addressed with innovative, accurate battery measurement technology. The industry acknowledges the problem: current inaccurate battery measurement systems result in pre-emptive replacement of batteries, thus reducing financial revenues, increasing waste and pollution, and causing environmental damage. We now need to complete our research, test it, and move from laboratory-based findings into real-world situations.

Nō ngā rangahau i ēnei tau tekau mā tahi kua hipa, kua tūhuraina e Te Kāhui Pūhiko o Waikato, ka taea te aro ki te ngoikoretanga o ngā pūnaha whakahaere pūhiko ki te matapae tika i te oranga me te hihiko, mā ngā hangarau ine pūhiko auaha, tika anō hoki. Kei te mārama te ahumahi ki te raru: ka hua ake i ngā pūnaha ine pūhiko hē o te wā, ko te whakakapitanga tōmua o ngā pūhiko, me te aha, ka heke ko ngā moniwhiwhi ahumoni, ka piki ko ngā para me ngā parahanga, ka raru hoki ko te taiao. I tēnei wā, me whakaoti mātou i te rangahau, me whakamātau, ā, me neke i ngā kitenga ā-taiwhanga pūtaiao ki ngā horopaki i te ao tūturu.

For-profit companies that use batteries – from the huge battery energy storage systems (BESS) that support the electricity grid to tiny medical implants, as well as energy storage of solar systems, electric vehicles, mobile phones, and cell towers – need and will welcome our new technology.

Ka whai hua ngā kamupene monihua e whakamahi ana i ngā pūhiko – mai i ngā Pūnaha Rokiroki Pūhiko Nui ka tautoko i te whatunga hiko, ki ngā kuhi whakaora moroiti, tae ana ki ngā pūhiko kohi i te pūngao o Tamanuiterā, ki ngā pūhiko hihiko motokā, ki ngā pūhiko hihiko waea me ngā pourewa waea.

We have already identified a number of interested companies with a variety of use-cases. For example preventing premature battery replacement in medical devices with precision monitoring

Kua tohua e mātou ētahi kamupene me ā rātou kēhi whai take huhua e hiahia ana kia mahi ngātahi mai.
