LG Energy Solution and Qualcomm Technologies have joined forces to develop an advanced BMS (Battery Management System) diagnostic solution.

On the 10th, LG Energy Solution announced that it is promoting the development of an advanced BMS diagnostic solution to be installed in next-generation electric vehicles in collaboration with Qualcomm. Through this partnership, the two companies plan to develop a more sophisticated advanced BMS solution by combining LG Energy Solution’s BMS diagnostic software with specific functions of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon® Digital ChassisTM.

The Snapdragon Digital Chassis is a comprehensive cloud-connected platform designed to support automotive connectivity and telematics, computing, and advanced driver assistance systems.

Computing Performance Increased Over 80 Times, Enabling Advanced Algorithms Using AI Functions

LG Energy Solution is promoting the development of a BMS diagnostic solution that supports AI (Artificial Intelligence) hardware and software solutions embedded in the Snapdragon Digital Chassis.

The newly developed BMS diagnostic solution will utilize the SoC (System-on-Chip) computing performance of the high-performance Snapdragon Digital Chassis platform within the vehicle, unlike existing BMS software that operated on low-spec hardware.

This will enhance computational power by more than 80 times, enabling the execution of more sophisticated battery algorithms in real time, and allow advanced BMS functions to be implemented without communication with a server.

An LG Energy Solution official said, "Through this collaboration, it is expected that not only real-time battery status diagnostics but also the development of various solutions directly linked to vehicle driving information will be possible, creating a differentiated customer experience."

The BMS diagnostic solution is an essential system for managing a safe and healthy battery usage environment for customers and consumers.

By utilizing various battery-related data such as current, voltage, and temperature, it ensures that the product performs optimally and enables more precise battery usage by detecting and addressing potential issues in advance.

Especially as cars become a new platform for life?enabling activities like watching movies, shopping, and various entertainments inside the vehicle?and as the era of future electric vehicles powered by batteries rather than internal combustion engines approaches, the importance of BMS diagnostic solutions is also increasing.

LG Energy Solution Holds Unrivaled Technological Leadership with BMS Patents and Validation Data

This collaboration is based on LG Energy Solution’s "unrivaled technological leadership."

Most existing battery diagnostic algorithms were developed by predicting virtual conditions rather than using data extracted from actual batteries, leading to low suitability and unexpected errors when applied in real-world environments.

However, LG Energy Solution has accumulated unrivaled technological leadership in battery management through over 30 years of continuous research and development (R&D), production experience, and collaboration with various customers.

In fact, LG Energy Solution has secured unique battery analysis algorithm technology based on cross-analysis of data from approximately 100,000 electric vehicles and validation data from direct analysis of more than 10,000 batteries exposed to real usage environments. It also holds about 7,000 patents related to BMS diagnostic solutions, including safety diagnostic software, and the prediction accuracy of its safety diagnostic algorithms reaches an industry-leading level of 90%.

LG Energy Solution expects that through this collaboration with Qualcomm, it will be able to provide more sophisticated and advanced battery diagnostic solutions to global automakers and other customers.

Jung Hyuk-sung, Executive Vice President of Business Development at LG Energy Solution, said, "As the electric vehicle market grows, the importance of safe and healthy battery management is increasing. We expect to deliver overwhelming and differentiated customer value through our collaboration with Qualcomm."

Park Ji-sung, Vice President of Marketing at Qualcomm CDMA Technologies Korea, said, "Qualcomm is pleased to collaborate with industry-leading companies like LG Energy Solution as a trusted partner in the automotive industry. Qualcomm is committed to developing advanced BMS solutions that operate on-device with powerful computing power to help automakers create more eco-friendly and sustainable intelligent vehicles."
