Our EV battery thermal runaway protection employs multi-functional, complex solutions designed for cell-to-cell application that absorb impact, vibration and movement, dissipate cell heat, and act as a flame or heat barrier and isolator in the event of a catastrophic battery event. Explore integrated assemblies with cooling fins, heat spreaders, compression pads, and flame-rated electrical insulation to ensure the utmost safety for your EV battery designs.
Prevent Thermal Runaway in EV Batteries
Maintain homogenous temperatures across battery cells, enable faster charge/discharge cycles, reduce battery overheating, isolate catastrophic battery events when they happen, or better yet, prevent them from ever happening with Boyd’s advanced eMobility thermal management and engineered material solutions.
Protect Batteries Against Collision Impact
Enhance consumer safety and reduce warranty expenses by protecting battery compartments in the event of a collision with ruggedized impact-absorbing seals.
Battery Housing Seals and Collision Protection
Battery compartments, enclosures and housings must be waterproofed and protected against contamination from road debris, precipitation, oil, dirt, and many other environmental factors for high reliability performance over the life of the vehicle. Batteries are exposed to extremely harsh road vibration and potential sudden impact. Battery housing seals, gaskets and damper pads are designed to withstand and absorb this variable force, vibration and extreme impact, minimizing the detrimental impact on the battery and reducing warranty costs. Seals and gaskets are ruggedized to withstand repeat and instantaneous shock, vibration, impact and friction without degrading performance.
Extend Battery Range and Life
Boyd’s lightweight, high performance sealing and eMobility thermal management solutions enable you to design larger batteries with greater power density ruggedized to withstand harsh road conditions for extended battery range and life.

Inverter Cooling and Managing Power Electronic Thermals
The ability to maximize energy utilization across various electronic components within an electric vehicle requires power to be supplied in AC (alternating current) that is generated in DC (direct current) by a battery for precisely controlled and consumed on-demand energy use. For maximum energy efficiency and sustainability, power regeneration reverts the process collecting energy from the motor when it’s not accelerating and returning it to charge the battery. Power electronics convert and control electric power in an eMobility vehicle including inverters, converters and on-board chargers. Inverters function as the energy converter in an electric vehicle, transforming DC generated energy to consumable AC and regenerated AC energy back to DC. Boyd’s advanced eMobility thermal management systems, including liquid cooling systems and custom cold plates, cool the high levels of heat generated as a byproduct of critical eMobility inverters and other power electronics. Our advanced cooling enables the highest efficiency power conversion and use, resulting in greater range and faster charge cycles for better consumer adoption.
ADAS Advanced Driving Assistance Systems and Compute Cooling
Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) are enabling the increasing levels of smart and intuitive functionality within vehicles and are the foundation for progressing to full Level 5 automation and self driving cars.
