Battery Tempering

Optimizing High-Performance Battery Applications

  • Turn Millimeters into
    Kilometers of EV range.

    SMILe® significantly increases battery compartment space by greatly reducing the packaging envelope required for thermal management hoses and spigots. This reduction in the overall footprint of the battery cooling system, gives OEM's the ability to pack larger volumes of battery cells.

    SMILe® (Surface Mount + In-Line QC = eMobility)
  • More than 50% installed space-savings than other solutions.
    Oetiker SMILe | Turn Millimeters into Kilometers of EV range
  • Oetiker SMILE Compact Compact.
    The World’s Most Compact Polymer Quick Connectors.
    With over 50% less installed height, SMILe® Compact Quick Connectors can provide over 80mm of additional battery pack space in typical EV passenger vehicles.
  • Oetiker SMILE Adaptable Adaptable.
    A Modular and Versatile Thermal Management System.
    SMILe® Compact Quick Connectors are custom engineered for your applications to accommodate any angle, any number of connections, any flow diameter,and any hose interface.
  • Oetiker SMILE Efficient Efficient.
    Optimize Space and Maximize Efficiency.
    Overcome high space consumption, inefficient packaging, and freight damage by reducing the amount of necessary material needed to incorporate SMILe® into EV battery pack production.
  • Increased Battery
    Pack Density.

    Any temperature differences between EV battery cells will compromise battery pack life. SMILe® helps to improve thermal management performance by allowing for more inlet and outlet lines between cooling plates while increasing battery pack density.

Battery Space Optimized. Up to a 20% increase in battery cell density. Oetiker SMILe SMILe® offers space-savings for all battery formats.


  • Reduce Complexity.
    Increase Flexibility.
    SMILe® Compact Quick Connectors are custom engineered for your applications. The Surface Mount Quick Connector enables optimum utilization of available space, ideal for automated assembly and easy installation in tight spaces.
