About
Batemo
The Story

The BateÂmo stoÂry began in March 2017 when Dr.-Ing. Michael SchönÂleÂber and Dr.-Ing. Jan Richter foundÂed the comÂpaÂny in KarlÂsruhe, GerÂmany. After a year-long prodÂuct develÂopÂment, the BateÂmo Cells softÂware was introÂduced to the marÂket in March 2018. Since then, BateÂmo is cash-flow positive.
Our cusÂtomers come from varÂiÂous marÂkets: We work with comÂpaÂnies from difÂferÂent indusÂtries such as powÂer tools, light mobilÂiÂty, autoÂmoÂtive, aeroÂspace, indusÂtriÂal and cell manÂuÂfacÂturÂing sectors.


The year 2020 pushed us to anothÂer levÂel. We furÂther develÂoped our prodÂucts and introÂduced the BateÂmo Cell Libary to the market.
Also, new soluÂtions for batÂtery sysÂtem develÂopÂment like the BateÂmo Cell ExplorÂer, the BateÂmo Cell Data and the BateÂmo Cell Report helped us to draw a lot more attenÂtion and to grow, despite the coroÂna virus SARS-CoVÂ‑2 pandemic.
At the beginÂning of 2021, BateÂmo went into a strateÂgic partÂnerÂship with AVL. This is how we make all BateÂmo prodÂucts availÂable for the AVL simÂuÂlaÂtion and testÂing soluÂtions to specifÂiÂcalÂly serÂvice the autoÂmoÂtive indusÂtry like nevÂer before. AddiÂtionÂalÂly, BateÂmo expeÂriÂenced strong growth, both techÂniÂcalÂly in the size of the BateÂmo Cell Library and comÂmerÂcialÂly in our cusÂtomer base.
BateÂmo received the StelÂlanÂtis SupÂpliÂer Award 2021 in the catÂeÂgoÂry of innoÂvaÂtion for their abilÂiÂty to proÂpose breakÂthrough techÂniÂcal soluÂtions and new valÂue-creÂatÂing services.
Until today, BateÂmo is 100% indeÂpenÂdent and comÂpleteÂly customer-funded.

Sponsorships
BateÂmo comÂmits to eduÂcate and train the next genÂerÂaÂtion of engiÂneers. This is our way to enable young, motiÂvatÂed engiÂneers and sciÂenÂtists to find novÂel techÂniÂcal soluÂtions that save enerÂgy, are CO2 neuÂtral and fight cliÂmate change. ThereÂfore, we sponÂsor excitÂing stuÂdent projects around the world:
- EPFL RacÂing Team
- ePowÂered Racing
- e‑sling von Cellsius
- E‑Tech Racing
- FSIP Leiria

Richter
CEO
Dr.-Ing. Jan Richter studÂied elecÂtriÂcal engiÂneerÂing and inforÂmaÂtion techÂnolÂoÂgy at the KarlÂsruhe InstiÂtute of TechÂnolÂoÂgy (KIT). He focused on elecÂtric mobilÂiÂty and the fields of elecÂtroÂchemÂiÂcal enerÂgy storÂage, powÂer elecÂtronÂics, and elecÂtriÂcal machines. DurÂing his studÂies, he spent half a year workÂing for the Dalian InstiÂtute of ChemÂiÂcal Physics in ChiÂna and for MerÂcedes-Benz Research & DevelÂopÂment North AmerÂiÂca in the USA. AfterÂwards, he comÂpletÂed his docÂtorÂate on modÂelÂling, paraÂmeÂter idenÂtiÂfiÂcaÂtion and conÂtrol of highÂly-utiÂlized synÂchroÂnous machines at the InstiÂtute of ElecÂtriÂcal EngiÂneerÂing (ETI) at KIT, gradÂuÂatÂing sumÂma cum laude. For his research he received the PCIM Young EngiÂneer Award. As part of his activÂiÂties, he develÂoped a modÂel-based develÂopÂment tool for powÂer elecÂtronÂics and elecÂtriÂcal machines for a Tier‑1 autoÂmoÂtive supÂpliÂer. DurÂing his underÂgradÂuÂate and gradÂuÂate studÂies, he received a scholÂarÂship from the StuÂdiÂenÂsÂtiftung des deutschen Volkes.

Dr.-Ing. Michael SchönÂleÂber studÂied elecÂtriÂcal engiÂneerÂing and inforÂmaÂtion techÂnolÂoÂgy at the KarlÂsruhe InstiÂtute of TechÂnolÂoÂgy (KIT). He speÂcialÂized in elecÂtroÂchemÂistry and sysÂtem theÂoÂry, with a focus on lithiÂum-ion-batÂterÂies. At the end of his studÂies, he worked for Robert Bosch LLC in the USA for one year. There he develÂoped algoÂrithms for comÂbined paraÂmeÂter and state estiÂmaÂtion in modÂern batÂtery manÂageÂment sysÂtems. He was awardÂed the ConÂtiÂnenÂtal Auto-MotiÂvatÂed Award and recÂogÂnized the Siemens EnerÂgy Award as top stuÂdent of his year.
After he comÂpletÂed his docÂtorÂate gradÂuÂatÂing sumÂma cum laude at the InstiÂtute for MateÂriÂals in ElecÂtriÂcal EngiÂneerÂing (IAM-WET) at KIT. As part of an indusÂtry project with an autoÂmoÂtive manÂuÂfacÂturÂer, he researched the low freÂquenÂcy behavÂior of NMC cathÂodes and aging of lithiÂum-ion-batÂterÂies. For his docÂtorÂal theÂsis, he received the Carl FreudenÂberg Prize.
