Electronic circuit board
Close up of an electronic circuit board, which are dependable, efficient, scalable architecture for large-scale battery management. Researchers are exploring how efficient battery management can extend a cell pack's life (ex., a 6800 cell pack for a Tesla S model or a 300 cell pack for a General Motors Volt) for as long as the constituent cells can last.
