NEXTBAT aims to develop the safest, most sustainable battery system by considering electrical, thermal, and mechanical safety. This effort includes digitalizing production, reducing the carbon footprint through recyclability, and enhancing performance with advanced battery management.

NEXTBAT develops next-generation battery systems using beyond state of cells as well as novel architectures when it comes to module and pack designs including advanced sensing, cooling (liquid and immersion), Battery Management Systems (BMS) and safety measures by using a design by safe principles.

The project also introduces innovative materials and processes to improve performance, safety, and recyclability, while working towards new industry standards for the European battery sector.
