The simple estimation will be: battery nominal voltage (V) x battery capacity rating (Ah) / battery weight (kg)=specific energy or energy density (Wh/kg) For example, for a 18650 cell, nominal voltage, 3.6 V, capacity rating, 3.0 Ah, cell weight, 45 g, then the energy density will be roughly 240 Wh/kg. Dezhi made it more simple. Thank you Dezhi.
In general, there are two representative energy density metrics for batteries: 1) gravimetric energy density (energy stored per unit weight of a battery) and 2) volumetric energy density (energy stored per unit volume of a battery).
The energy content of a string E bs [Wh] is equal with the product between the number of battery cells connected in series N cs [-] and the energy of a battery cell E bc [Wh]. The total number of strings of the battery pack N sb [-] is calculated by dividing the battery pack total energy E bp [Wh] to the energy content of a string E bs [Wh].
[Nominal battery Voltage (V) x Rated Battery capacity (Ah)] x DOD/ Battery Weight (Kg) Nominal Battery Voltage (V) x Rated Battery Capacity (Ah) / Battery Weight (kg) = Specific Energy or Energy Density (Wh / kg)
The conversion factor (1000) changes the capacity from milliampere-hours to watt-hours, standardizing the units for energy calculations. The Battery Energy Density Calculator helps by calculating the gravimetric (Wh/kg) and volumetric (Wh/L) energy density of batteries.
To aid understanding, below is a table of key terms related to battery energy density calculations: The amount of energy a battery can store relative to its mass or volume. Energy per unit mass (Wh/kg). Energy per unit volume (Wh/L). The total electrical charge a battery can hold, measured in milliampere-hours.
