ALBA Workshop
The workshop series on Automotive Lead Battery Advancements (ALBA) is a successful annual event dedicated to exchange and collaboration along the automotive battery value chain. For the first time this year, we are bringing an edition to Asia. It will take place on Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 September in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, and will be part of a full week of premier events focused on lead, battery recycling, and lead-acid battery innovation.
ALBA Asia 2025 will run alongside several major industry gatherings, including:
– 9th International Secondary Lead and Battery Recycling Conference (RECYCLE100)
– 21st Asian Battery Conference and Exhibition (21ABC)
– Consortium for Battery Innovation’s (CBI) Technical Workshop (by separate invitation for CBI member companies only).
Participants in the ALBA Workshop will have the opportunity to engage in selected sessions of RECYCLE100 and the CBI Technical Workshop, and can also register separately to attend 21ABC.
ALBA Asia 2025 will feature a mix of overview talks, technical papers and interactive discussion sessions on the following topic areas:
- Market trends and challenges for automotive 12V systems and their batteries, and opportunities for the lead battery supply base
- Auxiliary and backup batteries for battery-electric vehicles: New test methods for pulse power characterization and charge recovery (PPC and CR in IEC 60095-8 CDV)
- Field experience and failure mechanisms of auxiliary batteries in electric vehicles
- How can we quickly restore peak-power performance (state of function, SOF)? Limitations and improvements of charge recovery
- Engineering tools and guidelines for smart application of 12V lead batteries
