Breathe launches battery software toolchain
Breathe is expanding its software portfolio, providing comprehensive battery simulation and adaptive charging products.
This expansion transforms Breathe's offerings from a single embedded software solution to a comprehensive suite of battery simulation software, embedded software and battery services that support the full battery development journey. Our expanded toolchain addresses critical pain points in battery development, including performance limitations, expensive hardware overdesign, late-stage testing surprises, and lengthy development cycles that struggle to keep pace with changing market needs.
Dr Ian Campbell, CEO of Breathe explains why the industry needs more software:
"Today's battery development process is fundamentally unsustainable. Companies face a painful cycle of iterative testing, fragmented data, and limited supplier transparency that leads to inefficiencies and suboptimal designs. Designing high-quality battery-powered experiences requires a delicate balance of great cell design, seamless system integration and optimal control. By expanding our toolchain beyond our flagship Breathe Charge product, we're giving organisations the capabilities of an in-house battery team without the need to build that expertise and facilities themselves."
The new products joining Breathe's portfolio include:
Breathe Model: Advanced cell simulation software that frees developers from the constraints of empirical testing with high-level simulations based on physics-based electrochemical and thermal dynamics
Breathe Design: Cell design software that enables engineers to create more performant, cost-effective battery systems with system-level, contextual knowledge
These new products complement the existing Breathe Charge software, which Volvo Cars recently announced will be featured on its upcoming ES90 sedan. Adaptive charging software, Breathe Charge, dynamically controls the charging current by managing internal electrochemical states. The result is an improved charging experience, including faster charging across different real-world use cases and enhanced battery longevity.
Dr Yan Zhao, CEO at Breathe, on the vision behind our product innovation and development:
"As battery engineers, we continue to collectively search for ways to bring down the cost of delivering better battery systems, so we've built the tools we wish existed: a software toolchain for the design, validation and optimisation of better batteries. By combining simulation to inform decisions earlier in development with embedded charge control to optimise performance, we're providing the tools needed to build superior battery systems at lower cost, with reduced risk and faster time-to-market."
Breathe's solutions enable organisations to deliver class-leading battery performance that enhances user experience and product competitiveness – while simultaneously ensuring they can balance this performance with cost. The complete toolchain enriches battery development workflows with earlier access to performance data, increased agility through periods of change, whilst also providing insights that give designers greater influence in the battery supply chain.
