LFP vs NMC: Beyond the Flat Curve — Rethinking Battery Design, BMS, and Monitoring

At the heart of this shift lies the flat OCV curve of LFP cells, which severely limits voltage-based observability. This has deep implications across the battery lifecycle: from pack design and cell balancing, to BMS algorithms for SOC estimation, to field diagnostics and degradation tracking. Approaches that work reliably for NMC often fail silently when applied to LFP.

In this webinar, we go beyond textbook comparisons to unpack the real engineering challenges of LFP batteries. We will explore why traditional assumptions break, what OEMs and battery teams commonly misapprehend, and how physics-informed approaches can enable accurate estimation and robust operation despite limited observability.

This session is designed for engineering, BMS, and battery teams navigating the transition to LFP, and looking to build systems that are not just safe and cost-effective—but also measurable, predictable, and reliable in the field.

This webinar is perfect for: EV OEMs, Battery Pack Manufacturers, Cell Manufacturers, BMS Teams, and Safety & Validation Engineers.
