The dataset is aligned with the Battery Data Format (BDF), a growing open standard designed to improve interoperability and usability of battery data across research and industry.

This contribution represents a significant step forward in enabling open, standardised battery datasets that can be easily shared, compared, and used across tools, labs, and organizations.

Battery development is currently often hindered by fragmented data formats and inconsistent testing methodologies across labs and equipment vendors. The Battery Data Format (BDF) addresses these challenges by introducing a standardised structure for battery data.

BDF is designed to solve two critical industry problems:

Data Consistency – enabling seamless integration of datasets across laboratories, test equipment, and organisations.

Model Compatibility – allowing battery models and analytics workflows to be reused, compared, and confirmed for cross-vendor verification without costly data reformatting

By aligning datasets to BDF, organisations can accelerate research, improve collaboration, and unlock more reliable insights from battery testing and development.

The newly released dataset focuses on cell architecture design variations, enabling direct comparison across multiple lithium-ion configurations, including:

End Tab

Middle Tab

Multi Tab

In addition, the dataset includes:

Cycle aging data across configurations

This provides researchers and engineers with a structured foundation for analysing how design choices impact battery performance and longevity.
