The 5th Entwicklerforum Akkutechnologien (Developer Forum Battery Technologies), hosted by the batteryuniversity.eu, takes place on April 18 and 19, 2012 in the “Stadthalle Aschaffenburg”,Germany. Attendees are offered an extensive two-day congress program with nearly 30 presentations (mainly in German), two half-day fundamentals training courses on the subjects of battery technologies and battery management systems, and an exhibition with interesting products and technologies dealing with all aspects of battery cells and rechargeable batteries.
The focus of this successful series of forums – in 2011, more than 550 attendees (interested users, developers and experts) participated in the Developer Forum and the accompanying workshops – is
once again this year on the latest technologies, products and market trends presented by leading manufacturers of cells and charger ICs and internationally renowned institutions such as A123, Akku Power GmbH, Alfred Thun GmbH & Co. KG, Atmel Automotive GmbH, Batterien-Montage-Zentrum GmbH (BMZ), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sonnenenergie e.V., Euro-Batterietechnik GmbH (EBT), European Recycling Platform (ERP) Deutschland GmbH, Fahrzeugakademie HWK, Fraunhofer Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen (IIS), Fraunhofer Institut für Silikatforschung (ISC), FSM Elektronik GmbH, Fachhochschule Aschaffenburg, Gleichmann Electronics, Helmholtz Institut Ulm (HIU), Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Intertek Deutschland GmbH, Jauch Quartz Batteries, LG Chem Europe GmbH, Mack Electronic Systems, Maxell Europe Ltd., Maxim Integrated Products, MEC-Energietechnik GmbH, Omnitron Griese GmbH, Panasonic Electronic Devices, Panasonic Industrial Europe GmbH, RRC power solutions GmbH, Saft Batterien GmbH, Schulz-Electronic Sony Europe Ltd., Texas Instruments, TEXSYS GmbH, TPW Prüfzentrum GmbH, VDE Prüf- und
Zertifizierungsinstitut GmbH, velotech.de and werkstoffpruefung.de.
The many different topics range from the most modern physical methods for battery analytics, the design and development of intelligent rechargeable battery systems, system questions regarding storage in renewable energy networks, flexible battery management systems for electric drives to the challenges regarding the safe implementation of safety tests of Li-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
Dr. Jochen Mähliß, Manager of the batteryuniversity.eu: “Our explicit goal is to offer the broadest spectrum of information possible to battery developers and users. In just two days, we want to give attendees the opportunity to gather comprehensive information about the latest developments in battery technologies from experts in many different fields. I believe that with our selection of topics we will once again fully meet the expectations in 2012. It is not surprising that within only four years the Developer Forum Battery Technologies has established itself as the most important meeting place for the mobile electricity supply industry inEurope.”
Furthermore, the conference is accompanied by an exhibition, which is open both days from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM, where attendees have the unique opportunity to get detailed information and advice from the experts of Sony Europe, Panasonic, LG Chem Europe, Saft Batterien and others about their latest products and technologies.
