Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS)
A Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) is critical in electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Designed to capture the excess heat from the battery pack, maintaining temperatures within an optimal operating window under varying ambient conditions and driving loads – ensuring safety, longevity, and performance.
Key Features
Energy-Performance Optimisation
Maintaining battery temperature within its optimal range while responding to dynamic thermal loading throughout the vehicles operating cycle.
Improved Battery Safety
Mitigation of overheating risks, and operation in extreme conditions, reducing the likelihood of thermal runaway, while contributing to overall vehicle safety.
Maximise Range and Uptime
Our systems capture waste heat from across the vehicle to be used in to support heating the cabin or battery when required, reducing electrical load used by additional heaters.
Product Advantages
Customised Solutions
Bespoke system designed, built and supplied to suit customer specific requirements, extending driving range, performance and longevity.
Flexible Application Across Vehicle Types
Plug & Play installation with customer interface points aligned to installation requirements.
Seamless Integration
Lightweight and compact design reduces overall vehicle mass and packaging constraints.

Sweating over range? – How to maximise the potential range of your application through smart thermal management
The smarter route lies not in adding more cells, but in maximising the usable energy of the existing pack via smart thermal management. The temperature–range relationship Lithium-ion batteries operate efficiently only within a narrow temperature band (typically 20°C–40°C). Deviations in either direction compromise both immediate performance and long-term health: In
