As the battery pack deteriorates, the “barrel effect” of the battery pack steadily expands, limiting the battery pack’s available capacity, shortening its service life, and potentially triggering safety problems. (14,15) As a result, various researchers have developed screening techniques for choosing and grouping homogeneous cells. (16,17)
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.
The four individual cells’ discharge conditions were set to a constant current of 0.5C rate and 2C rate. The capacity utilization and energy utilization of the battery pack at a constant current discharge of 0.5C/2C rate when Cell 1 and Cell 2/Cell 3/Cell 4 are in series as shown in Tables 3 and 4.
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.
(13) The parameter difference of the battery pack is caused due to the complex charging and discharging environment, temperature, and other external factors in the process of use, combined with differences in the capacity, internal resistance, and self-discharge rate of the individual cells in the manufacturing process.
Some of the most critical control factors of an EV battery pack are: battery cells and cell spacer type, number and location of gas exhaust nozzles, battery cooling system and insulation coating thickness.
As the battery pack is used more frequently, these initial variations often become more pronounced due to internal temperature gradients, which causes uneven cell …
