Chalmers researchers model reconfigurable EV battery packs that bypass weak cells

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have assessed how much reconfigurable battery packs could extend electric vehicle battery life and reduce lifetime cost.

According to the source, the study was published in Nature Communications and was carried out with PHINIA and Scania.

The research focuses on battery packs made up of many interconnected cells that do not age in the same way, and on using reconfiguration to bypass weak cells.
