ALBA 2023

Wolfsburg, Germany will be the host city for our next iteration of our successful, annual workshops focused on Advanced Lead Batteries. The Automotive Lead Battery Advancements (ALBA) 2023 Workshop, will be held on 14 June, from 11am-5.30pm and 15 June from 8.30am-3pm, and will include a networking dinner in the evening of the 14June.

This year’s ALBA will have plenary talks concentrating on auxiliary applications and on power-supply requirements in support of Functional Safety.

During parallel break-out sessions, the following topics will be addressed:

• Experimental studies into improved charge recovery by modifications of materials and cell components
• New test methods for 12V auxiliary batteries, including characterization of pulse power and rechargeability
• Ways to optimize cell design for non-starter batteries and best practices for test cells dedicated to AUX battery requirements
• Harmonizing guidelines for 12V battery operation in BEV, where different customers push demand for either quick recharge or very long 12V-on times
• Functional Safety and its impact on battery design and manufacturing, as well as generic demonstration of inherent reliability of lead batteries
• How battery diagnostics enables Functional Safety, and how its verification methods are standardized for cost-efficient commodity solutions

CBI will also hold its European Technical Workshop on 13-14 June and Safety-relevant State of Function (SSOF) Workshop on 15-16 June. All events will take place at the Leonardo Hotel and CongressPark in Wolfsburg.
