The inconsistency of the battery pack can reflect the performance of battery management and thermal management. High inconsistency will accelerate capacity fading of battery pack and bring potential risk of safety. The fire triangle principle indicates that the occurrence of fire must meet the three elements: an ignition source, fuel, and oxidant.
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 .
The overall voltage level of the battery pack will be higher compared to the cells and modules. If there are problems such as aging and loose wiring, the battery pack is more likely to form a high voltage arc.
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.
Crashworthiness is a vehicle's capacity to safeguard its occupants in frontal, side, or rear accidents. After a collision, the damaged cells could lead to short circuits and thermal runways, causing safety problems for passengers and the environment . Therefore, improving the battery pack crashworthiness is a necessary practice in EV design.
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].
