Meet AMS at the Battery & Energy Storage Exhibition

The AMS engineering team is at the Battery and Energy Storage Exhibition to provide direct advice on thermal insulation, thermal propagation prevention and heat dissipation materials for batteries. The booth is aimed at manufacturers of battery packs, energy storage systems and electric two-wheelers.

Thermal runaway propagation is the biggest concern with lithium-ion batteries. When one cell overheats, the reaction can spread to neighboring cells within just a few minutes. The materials placed between cells and modules determine whether this process is stopped or slowed, buying extra warning time for users.

Solutions on display

• Aerogel sheets and mica heat shields between cells, withstanding temperatures above 800°C.
• Two-part thermal gap fillers for module bottoms in contact with the cooling plate.
• Flame-retardant silicone foam to hold cells and absorb swelling.
• Insulating coatings for pack enclosures and busbars.
• Structural adhesives for fixing cells into the frame.

On-site testing

At the booth, visitors can watch a live flame test on heat shields, with the back-side temperature measured after a few minutes to compare the insulating performance of different materials. It is a visual way for engineers to evaluate materials before taking samples back for formal testing.

No single material suits every battery design. What matters is understanding the pack structure, the heat sources and the standard requirements before choosing a material. — AMS Battery Application Engineer

Design-specific consultation

AMS engineers encourage customers to bring drawings or a description of their pack structure for specific advice on barrier thickness, thermal gap filler volume and assembly approach. For cabinet-type energy storage systems, requirements for thermal propagation resistance and a service life of more than 10 years are also analyzed in detail.

After the exhibition, AMS will help send samples and support customers through testing to the standards they are targeting.

Batteries for two-wheelers and home energy storage

Alongside four-wheel EVs, the booth has a dedicated area for electric motorbike batteries and home energy storage units, two segments growing rapidly in Vietnam. These battery packs typically use cylindrical cells held in place by plastic holders and adhesive, and are subject to constant vibration on rough roads. AMS engineers present flame-retardant elastic silicone adhesives, insulating tapes for cell terminals and moisture-resistant coatings for battery management circuits, helping products last longer in hot, humid conditions and localized flooding.
