The problem: cell results that can't be traced to their materials

Battery teams generate data at every level, from cathode synthesis to cell builds to cycling. When those records aren't linked, it's hard to tell which material choices drove performance.

A cathode batch, its precursor and dopant, the cells built from it and their cycling results often live in different files. When a cell underperforms, finding the material behind it takes digging.

What this demo shows

  1. Record Ni-rich NCM cathode batch 412 with its precursor, lithium source and dopant.
  2. Link the material to the cells built from it.
  3. Connect test results to every cell, so the next design starts from data.

‍

Why it matters

Battery performance comes down to material decisions. Linking every test to every cell lets the team see which choices drove the result.

Barcoded samples and linked bench and pilot records keep that traceability as work scales up, so the next design starts from data.

Uncountable is one platform for R&D, quality, and product life cycle work. For a battery materials team, it starts with the material. Surface area, elemental composition, crystal structure, and thermal behavior stay linked to the material, not reduced to a single number in a PDF report. Cell testing lives on its own linked record, connected back to the material and process that went into the build.

Describe the relationship you want to see, and Bodie, the built-in AI assistant, plots it from your own builds, not a generic model. Every sample gets a barcode, so when a cell fades early, even months later, you can scan it and trace it back to what it was made from. And you can link the bench record to its pilot scale run, so you see where a property held and where it moved.

Analytics tell you about the battery you built. Uncountable helps you design the next one.

FAQs

How does Uncountable link battery materials to cell performance?

Material characterization stays on the material's record, and cell testing lives on its own linked record connected back to the material and process that went into the build.

Can I trace a cell that fails early?

Yes. Every sample gets a barcode, so even months later you can scan a cell and trace it back to what it was made from.

Can I connect bench and pilot-scale results?

Yes. You can link a bench record to its pilot-scale run to see where a property held and where it moved.
