Smarter Battery Design Starts with Smarter Aging Models

In today’s rat race to electrify transportation and scale renewable energy storage, the battery industry faces a universal challenge: uncertainty. How long will a battery cell last? Under what conditions? And how can we accelerate innovation without compromising safety?

While every expert may have a different approach, at Ridgetop Group, we believe the answer lies in smarter modeling and simulation.

We’ve developed two powerful tools. CellSage™ and AEM™ (Advanced Electrolyte Model) to replace guesswork with data-driven precision, helping battery developers make confident, efficient, and future focused decisions.

Start Smarter with AEM™

AEM is a molecular-level simulation software that allows engineers to optimize electrolyte chemistries during the design phase before committing to physical prototyping. By simulating the interactions between solvents, salts, and additives, AEM helps users predict conductivity, stability, and compatibility with specific battery chemistries. It’s a faster, safer, and more sustainable path to innovation, especially for developers focused on EVs and grid storage.

Look Ahead with CellSage™

CellSage complements AEM by simulating a battery’s long-term degradation and aging behavior. With physics-based modeling, CellSage forecasts how a cell will perform under real-world usage, helping developers reduce over-testing, improve reliability, and extend lifecycle performance. It’s a critical tool for anyone serious about building batteries that last.

Together, AEM and CellSage offer a comprehensive solution—from chemical design to operational insight—giving engineers and researchers the tools they need to design, predict, and validate faster than ever before.

The future of energy isn’t built on assumptions. It’s built on models that work
