MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123708 A) filed by Bnm Institute Of Technology, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on Dec. 8, 2025, for 'ai-controlled hybrid battery thermal management system for electric vehicles.'

Inventor(s) include Aneesh M S; Deekshith M V; Hamsini Bhat V; Kandacharam Deepshika; Kshithija K M; Dr. Jyoti R Munavalli; and Smt. Sumathi A.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is an artificial intelligence (AI)-controlled hybrid battery thermal management system (BTMS) configured to regulate temperature of a battery pack within an optimal operating range. The system comprises a phase change material (PCM) layer for passive heat absorption, a liquid cooling subsystem for active heat dissipation, a sensor network for monitoring operational parameters, and an AI-based prediction module for forecasting thermal behavior. The system selectively operates between passive and active cooling modes based on predicted temperature conditions, and in certain embodiments employs multi-threshold and hysteresis-based control for adaptive cooling. The invention provides improved thermal stability, reduced energy consumption, enhanced battery life, and improved safety by mitigating risks of overheating and thermal runaway, thereby enabling efficient and reliable operation of electric vehicles."
