Welcome to BATTECH CALIFORNIA 2026

the evolution of Battery Thermal Management USA
For eight years, this event has advanced the discipline of battery thermal engineering. In 2026, the scope expands to reflect the new industry reality: thermal management is no longer a standalone topic — it is one element within a far more complex battery system architecture challenge.

As EV platforms push toward structural packs, 800V–1000V systems, ultra-fast charging, silicon-rich chemistries, and domestic gigafactory scaling, the real engineering question is no longer just “how do we cool it?” — but:

How do we design, integrate, validate, and industrialise complete battery systems that are safe, scalable, durable, and cost-effective?
BATTECH USA, California – brings together 500+ senior OEM battery engineers, pack architects, manufacturing leaders, and advanced materials specialists to address exactly that challenge.

The 2026 agenda has been developed in direct collaboration with automakers, cell manufacturers, and tier-one suppliers to reflect the most urgent technical priorities shaping next-generation vehicle platforms.
