Data

Data is at the core of battery innovation. The Battery Data Alliance invites researchers, labs, and organizations to share datasets that support transparency, reproducibility, and progress in the field. Whether you’re contributing raw test data, curated benchmarks, or metadata-rich experiment records, we provide tools and guidelines to ensure your data is stored responsibly, cited properly, and remains useful to the community. Contributors can choose open or controlled access options, and all data is versioned, validated, and aligned with Alliance standards for interoperability.

Software

Contributing software is the easiest way. If you have a software repository that you would like to open source and donate to the Battery Data Alliance Community, please fill out the form to donate:

If you would like to contribute to an existing BDA project such as PyMacNet, PyCTIArbin, or Battery Data Format, please follow our contributing guidelines.

Battery Tester Hardware

If you have battery tester hardware you would like to donate to BDA so that its members can learn from and test cells on this hardware.

Lab Space

If you have space in your lab to host hardware donated by partners or to host lab tours or events.
