SEOUL, Dec. 23 (Korea Bizwire) — LG Energy Solution Ltd. (LGES), South Korea’s leading battery maker, said Monday it has reached an agreement with Qualcomm Technologies Inc. to jointly accelerate the commercialization of system-on-chip-based battery management system (SoC-based BMS) diagnostic solutions.
Under the agreement, LGES’ new advanced BMS software will be made available on the Snapdragon Digital Chassis from Qualcomm. The BMS software will also integrate with the Snapdragon Car-to-Cloud Connected Services Platform.
The partnership builds on the companies’ working relationship, where they announced earlier this year plans to develop a next-generation BMS diagnostic solution for electric vehicles and formed a technical consortium to advance their research, according to LGES.
“Through the process of technology sharing and validation, we have demonstrated the excellence of our BMS technology through synergy with Qualcomm Technologies. Now, we are officially embarking on the development for commercialization,” an LGES official said.
LGES holds more than 8,000 patents related to BMS. The company boasts a safety diagnostic detection rate of over 90 percent and an industry-leading degradation diagnostic error rate of around 1 percent.
