Battery Benchmarking & Teardown Analysis
SZOTECH provides competitive benchmarking and teardown analysis for EV batteries, energy storage systems, and consumer lithium-ion cells. The service combines performance testing, safety evaluation, physical teardown, materials analysis, and technical analysis to help clients understand how a target battery is designed and manufactured.
The analysis can extend from cell-level performance and material composition to internal structure, manufacturing methods, cost estimation, and design characteristics. The findings can then be used to evaluate competing products, identify improvement opportunities, and support battery R&D and product development.
Battery Benchmarking and Teardown Process
1. Performance and Safety Testing
The target battery is evaluated through electrochemical performance testing and safety compliance testing to establish a technical baseline.
2. Physical Teardown
The cell is carefully disassembled to examine its internal structure, component arrangement, materials, and manufacturing characteristics.
3. Materials Analysis
Key materials and components are analyzed to identify the composition and construction used in the target battery.
4. Reverse Engineering
The collected test and teardown data are combined to reconstruct the cell design, understand its architecture, and analyze relevant manufacturing methods.
5. Cost Estimation
The analyzed materials, components, structure, and manufacturing processes can be used to develop a manufacturing cost estimate for the benchmarked cell.
6. Prototype and Validation
Where required by the project, the analyzed design can be reconstructed into a proof-of-concept prototype for further performance validation.
