Battery Data, One Format, Anywhere in the World

BDF gives every battery dataset a common structure — whether it lives in a central repository or stays with its owner. Same format, same tools, anywhere.

Where BDF Data Lives

BDF data can live in one central place or stay with its owner — the format is the same either way.

Central Datastore

Open datasets on GitHub, freely available. Contributed and maintained by the BDA community.

Community-contributed open data
Hosted on bdf-datastore repo
CC-licensed for any use

Federated Data

BDF-formatted data that stays with its owners — labs, companies, and institutions — compatible through a shared standard.

Data stays with its owner
Same BDF format, fully compatible
Discoverable via catalog metadata

BDF in Practice

These open datasets from the central datastore show BDF in action — consistent structure, compact format, ready for any tool.
