In current research immense effort is taken into account to improve known battery technologies like lithium-Ion batteries, but also new battery concepts are investigated. In both cases the question often arises, to which extend new concepts can actually compete with state-of-the-art solutions in nowadays applications and which improvements are required in order to achieve compatibility. It is a difficult task to approach this question, especially since it needs to be investigated on system level rather than on material level. Giving a profound answer is part of the work of the Helmholtz-Institute Münster (HIMS). Within the first step of this research, battery applications need to be characterized together with their state of the art solution. Since the electric vehicle application will be one of the main battery applications in the future, it was taken into focus first. For this purpose a battery module from the Tesla Model S electric …
