Battery Innovation Center

the battery innovation center (bic) project is a collaborative initiative designed to incorporate leadership from renowned universities, government agencies, and commercial enterprises to focus on the rapid development, testing and commercialization of safe, reliable and lightweight energy storage systems for defense and commercial customers. the bic’s mission is to accelerate innovation in the field of battery technology by providing access to the entire spectrum of r&d to commercialization, including low volume production, in a single 40,000 square foot facility. under one roof and with virtual connections to partners’ research and manufacturing facilities, the bic will be capable of managing all aspects of the battery life cycle: - basic and applied research - elementary cell concept - cell research and development - cell manufacturing - electronic control - pack systems engineering, testing and certification - low volume manufacturing - field service and support
