MaxVolt Energy has announced a strategic research partnership with the renowned Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. Through a recently signed MoU, the two organizations will work together to develop advanced AI-powered Battery Management Systems (BMS) for next-generation energy storage and electric mobility solutions. This collaboration marks a major step toward improving battery intelligence, with a strong focus on enhancing both safety and performance across India.
The initiative aims to integrate AI and machine learning algorithms into BMS platforms, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive diagnostics, adaptive charging, and optimized thermal management. A key feature of the system will be predictive maintenance, using AI to assess battery health and estimate remaining life. This will provide ample lead time to determine whether a battery should be repurposed, refurbished, or recycled, maximizing efficiency and sustainability.
This collaboration will improve the accuracy of state-of-charge (SoC) and state-of-health (SoH) estimation in lithium batteries and will also focus on extending battery lifecycle, minimising degradation, and ensuring optimal performance under diverse operating conditions. It is expected that the advanced BMS will incorporate predictive maintenance capabilities reducing downtime and enhancing the reliability in EVs. The focus on building indigenous technological capabilities under India’s Make in India and clean mobility initiatives will strengthen the essence of this collaboration. The joint research program will involve faculty experts, research scholars, and MaxVolt’s in-house engineering team working together. They will collaborate to design, prototype, and validate AI-powered BMS solutions tailored to Indian climatic and grid conditions.
On this occasion, Mr Vishal Gupta, Co-Founder & Technical Director MaxVolt Energy and MaxVolt ReEarth, stated, “The need for advanced battery intelligence is increasing as India accelerates toward large-scale EV adoption. The collaboration between MaxVolt Energy and IIT Roorkee will strengthen the R&D capabilities and support our mission to provide the best quality products and solutions for a wide range of applications. The BMS will align with our vision at MaxVolt Energy. Further, we will also be setting up a Centre of Excellence at the IIT Roorkee campus functional in collaboration with MaxVolt ReEarth to encourage research on Second Life Reusability Detection with the help of BMS.
Officials at IIT Roorkee shared their views on this MoU Signing, “The collaboration with MaxVolt Energy and MaxVolt ReEarth brings an exciting opportunity for our students and faculty, enabling industry-academia interactions. The IIT Roorkee’s research expertise and MaxVolt’s industry insights can bring revolutionary breakthroughs in the field of energy.”
