Qnovo has introduced new software called SentinelX, which is designed for electric vehicle batteries and aims to protect vehicles from ignition due to defective or degraded battery cells.
According to initial information about the SentinelX software, it can guarantee the safety and health of batteries with an accuracy of 98.7% and higher. The software can be integrated directly into the battery management system (BMS).
It can also be implemented as a cloud-based solution, depending on the owner's needs. Thus, preventive detection and resolution of battery problems should become an industry standard, not something secondary.
"Battery safety should determine every step in electric vehicle innovation", says Qnovo CEO Nadim Malouf and reveals the key components of Qnovo SentinelX. These are:
Adaptive Fast Charging (AFC) - a feature that provides high charging speed and extends battery life by dynamically adjusting charging profiles to manage unstable battery cells.
In-vehicle Battery Health and Safety Diagnostics (HSD) - this feature allows you to detect and monitor unstable battery cells in real time to prevent damage.
Battery Genome is a database of lithium-ion cells based on 12 years of research that manufacturers can use to assess risks, model battery performance, and design safer and more reliable battery packs.
The new solution is expected to help minimize costly vehicle recalls and reduce the number of warranty claims. Furthermore, real-time battery management will enable mitigation and prevention of serious risks before they occur.
SentinelX is currently undergoing road testing, with the software integrated into vehicles from large fleets. Qnovo plans to introduce more features for electric vehicle maintenance by the end of 2025.
