POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Batteries are another hidden, but critical part of the smartphone. The most noticeable aspect from a consumer’s perspective is everyday battery life, but charge-time, ageing, heating, safety and impact survival also play a part in consumer confidence and expectations.

Battery design & performance is a complex mix of 3D electro-chemistry, electrolyte transport, thermo-mechanical, thermo-electric, cyclic charging/ageing, impact and drop performance. An end-to-end, platform-based and multi-physics simulation approach helps designers to manage the complexity and find the best solution for their application.
