How can mechanical design and battery packaging protect EV batteries?
Robust mechanical design and battery packaging can provide greater degree of protection against all of these. This chapter discusses design elements like thermal barrier and gas exhaust mechanism that can be integrated into battery packaging to mitigate the high safety risks associated with failure of an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack.
How mechanical design elements affect safety and reliability of EV battery packaging?
In this chapter, mechanical design elements affecting safety and reliability of EV battery packaging are discussed. Forces like mechanical vibration, impact energy and ambient temperature variations interact with the battery pack through different interfaces. These interactions need to be controlled for safe and reliable operation of battery pack.
How does packaging design affect thermal performance of a battery pack?
Compactness of packaging design also has an appreciable impact on thermal performance of the battery pack. Research shows that increasing the cell-to-cell spacing for a battery pack from 1 to 10 mm can lead to a loss of approximately 1 °C in the steady-state cell core temperature, for all the three physical formats .
Why do I need a battery pack connector?
Battery pack connectors are usually specified by our customer to ensure the battery pack is attached correctly to the device with the right polarity. Fitting a connector also helps to prevent the possibility of the positive and negative terminals touching creating a short circuit, which will damage the battery pack.
How does communication affect the reliability and safety of a battery pack?
Communication through each of these interfaces can influence reliability and safety of the battery pack and needs regulation. For example, it has been suggested that the battery temperature must be maintained below 50 °C for safe operation [23, 24].
Are power batteries safe?
Consequently, the safety of power batteries has also attracted increasing attention. Given the substantial energy stored in the power battery system of EVs, any occurrence of thermal runaway or thermal difusion can lead to severe fire and explosion incidents, posing a significant threat to the safety of both vehicles and drivers1,2.
