Task 10’s goal was to advance the state-of-the-art of battery and capacitor science and address issues related to their use in vehicles. The Task accomplished this goal by facilitating information exchange among technical experts from the electrochemical power sources field.
The Task addressed selected topics through the use of focused working groups. Each working group met once or twice to discuss a specific topic. Products from the working groups varied depending upon the nature of the discussions and included documents distributed to the participants and summaries published in the Annual Reports. Each working group had unique members; attendees were individuals interested in the specific topic.
Task 10 sponsored ten working group meetings between 2006 and 2016:
A list of the Workshops with brief conclusions are given here:
Safety and Abusive Testing of Batteries, Parts 1 & 2
The World’s Supply of Lithium
Accelerated Life Testing of Batteries (Especially Lithium-ion Batteries) for Vehicles
