The Battery Designer is an early-stage battery pack design tool for initial comparisons across different module and pack configurations. It uses simplified models and selection data from commercially-available cell types to estimate key performance metrics, taking choice of cell, configuration, casing and insulation materials, and thermal management system into account.

Note: The initial versions of Battery Designer and the Battery Cells datatable were developed as part of the MAT2BAT collaborative R&D project (Innovate UK, Faraday Challenge competition, Project no 133723), and subsequently further developed and integrated by Granta Design Limited, an ANSYS Inc. subsidiary.
