This includes collaboration in the areas of marketing, sales, development and production of low-voltage batteries for automotive applications.
The two companies, both based in the Stuttgart area, will in the future jointly offer low-voltage batteries in the automotive sector. The partners see great market potential, particularly in the area of high-performance low-voltage batteries for applications in starter, backup or mild hybrid batteries.
”Our respective areas of expertise complement each other perfectly: we bring software and hardware expertise in battery management systems to the partnership. Combined with Farasis‘ battery cell and housing technology, we can jointly respond even better to the needs of automotive manufacturers for new vehicle generations,” summarized Johannes Weber, Vice President of the Automotive Electronics Business Unit.
“This collaboration allows us to offer the optimum technical battery solution from a single source. As a cell and battery expert with decades of experience, we can concentrate on our core competencies, while Eberspaecher will take over the software and hardware interface to the customer,” explained Thomas Schnepf, General Manager of Farasis Energy Europe.
In 2024, Eberspaecher was one of the first companies in Europe to successfully launch an ASIL-C rated 12 V lithium-ion battery management system for automotive applications with an integrated semiconductor-based switch. This is used in the starter battery of an international manufacturer and ensures the necessary safety of automated driving functions.
The switch from lead-acid to lithium-ion batteries in the low-voltage range saves several kilograms in weight. The Esslingen-based automotive supplier is already actively developing the next generations of battery management systems for the voltage range between 12 and 48 V.
As part of the exclusive partnership, Farasis, one of the world's leading manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries, will utilize its extensive expertise in the field of cell production and battery design. With the latest High-Power LFP technology, charge/discharge rates greater than 40 C and a cycle life of more than 15,000 cycles, these cells can fulfill the increased requirements for 12 V and 48 V applications.
The partnership will focus on the next generation of high-performance 12 V and 48 V systems for mild hybrid and electric vehicles.
