Smarter, Safer, More Efficient Car Batteries
University of Michigan engineers are collaborating with the automotive industry to reduce the environmental impacts of vehicles. They have developed advanced temperature sensors and simulation models that allow them to observe how car batteries function in real world scenarios, like New York traffic. These observations validate actions that can be taken to prolong the life of the battery.
