from chemistry to pack
Recent industrial and academic studies have shown that aluminium cell housings can provide several benefits in terms of thermal management and gravimetric energy density in particular1,2,3. However, as Cell-To-Pack and Cell-To-Chassis approaches arise the battery cell and therefore, the battery cell housing, become part of the structure of the battery electric vehicle contributing with their … Read more
for Cell Contacting Systems and Busbars Aluminium busbar products are used in manifold applications in batteries and battery systems due to their favourable structural, physical, and chemical properties. When it comes to cell contacting systems and busbars, electrical (and thermal) conductivity are decisive for balancing component resistance and cross-section to meet the designed space. However, … Read more
A 4680 cell concept The battery industry is targeting larger cell formats, which enable simplified module design and cell-to-pack or even cell-to-chassis solutions. In this regard, hard case battery cells and in particular cylindrical cells will play an important role in enabling the named developments. Tesla’s announcement of a tabless 4680 cylindrical LIB has triggered … Read more
Author: David G. Kilburn & Nigel Taylor As I posted the other day, there are a lot of “boring” battery topics that often get overlooked and producing the battery housing (sometimes referred to as battery tray or box) is no exception! To house a battery you need a high quality, leak proof container that can … Read more
