What if you didn’t have to wait months, or even years, to understand how a battery will perform over its lifetime? 

In this presentation, Dr. Stephen Glazier, Director of Cell Technology at NOVONIX, explores how Ultra-High Precision Coulometry (UHPC) enables battery developers to detect early signs of degradation and inefficiency within just a few cycles. With accuracy down to the parts per million, UHPC reveals slippage- and fade-based failure mechanisms that traditional cycling often misses until much later. 

Through real-world case-studies, Dr. Glazier demonstrates how UHPC is used to: 

• Evaluate cathode material stability before long-term cycling  

• Detect performance differences based on cell orientation and electrolyte movement  

• Separate kinetic vs. electrochemical degradation with high-resolution metrics  

• Enable short-term quality control for production lines  

• Support lifetime prediction using machine learning models in partnership with SandboxAQ 

By combining early-cycle data with deeper electrochemical insight, UHPC gives R&D teams the tools to make faster, more informed decisions—and significantly reduce testing time without compromising accuracy.
