Qnovo, which provides battery software for e-mobility, has unveiled its SentinelX battery health and safety solution designed to protect passenger and commercial EV operators.

The software is designed to act as a first line of defense for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to prevent catastrophic safety incidents, such as fires related to faulty or degraded EV batteries. It claims an accuracy rate of 98.7% or higher and includes options to combine fast charging, performance optimization and longevity, cycle life and risk assessment components.

SentinelX aims to help minimize costly automotive recalls and reduce warranty claims by providing real-time battery management that detects, mitigates and alerts operators to serious risks before they occur, according to the company.

The software can be integrated directly into a vehicle’s battery management system (BMS) or deployed as a cloud solution.

Key components of SentinelX include adaptive fast charging, which dynamically adjusts charging profiles to manage unstable battery cells, as well as health and safety diagnostics using real-time analytics. Qnovo’s Battery Genome lithium-ion cell database provides an extensive list of cell models that OEMs can use to assess risks, model battery performance, and design more reliable battery packs tailored to specific applications.

Qnovo SentinelX is currently in advanced road testing for automotive fleets. Qnovo plans to roll out EV maintenance features in late 2025, which will integrate advanced diagnostics with historical battery data to streamline vehicle repairs and further enhance battery safety.

“Proactively identifying and resolving battery issues should be an industry standard, not an afterthought,” said Nadim Maluf, CEO of Qnovo. “Battery safety must guide every step of electric vehicle innovation.”
