PRESENTATIONS
Mild and Micro Hybrids: Moving Forward Albeit Quietly
One of the largest market opportunities for energy storage companies and suppliers in the near future is in micro-hybrid systems and mild hybrid vehicles. A micro-hybrid runs a combustion engine, but also employs a battery-powered mechanism that allows the engine to be turned off when the car is idle or braking, improving fuel economy at a very reasonable embedded cost. These systems are very attractive for meeting increasingly aggressive Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. Alan Baum from Baum & Associates, a leading market analysis and vehicle forecasting firm, will provide an update on micro-hybrid systems projections with a focus on domestic forecasts and trends within the next 5 years. These systems can employ lithium ion or lead acid batteries and are typically 12 or 48 Volts.
PlugVolt Webinar
The PlugVolt webinar entitled ?EV Battery Standards Gap Analysis Related to Damaged & Recycled Batteries? will speak to concerns for stranded energy, which is the residual charge left in an automobile?s battery after an accident. This stored energy cannot be directly accessed and becomes stranded, posing a potential shock or fire hazard. Organizations including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and SAE International are all working to address this gap, however there is currently no standardized method for discharging damaged or used batteries.

Safety Training from LithFire-X
LithFire-X has developed the industry?s first comprehensive training program: ?Battery Safety Management & Emergency Response Training & Planning?. LithFire-X also is the industry leader in the safe testing, transport and storage of all battery chemistries including lithium, Li On and ultracapacitors. LithFire-X has partnered with Intertek. The U.S. EPA Test Lab in Ann Arbor, MI has contracted with LithFire-X to assist in developing a safe testing method, including training, for the EPA program of testing vehicles that involve lithium ion battery technologies.
