Performance enhancements through flexible architecture
The MARBEL prototypes address critical performance aspects. An innovative cooling system design ensures uniform heat removal from cells and busbars, which, combined with charging optimization algorithms, enables ultra-fast charging capabilities.
“A switchable Junction Box has also been added to support flexible battery architecture, allowing seamless transitions between 400 and 800 volts and vice versa depending on requirements supporting modularity for both smaller and larger battery packs,” added the press release.
MARBEL project aims to extend battery life through second-life applications, which will enable reuse and refurbishment beyond automotive purposes.
The prototypes feature intelligent architecture using easily assembled and disassembled busbars for power connections.
