from chemistry to pack
When we look at automotive battery pack design there have been a number of pack generations. The general theme is to simplify and hence reduce the cost. Initially we saw packs built from small modules of around 12 cells. The next step in pack generations is possibly going to be a cell to vehicle design. … Read more
The BYD Blade pack design is the first cell to pack design that encompasses everything this means. Not having a module and the overhead of a module is difficult to achieve. LFP cells make this design easier in some ways and this gives a new lease of life for LFP chemistry. The Tesla with CATL’s … Read more
The CATL Qilin CTP 3.0 is their second generation cell to pack design. Qilin is named after a legendary creature from China. The latest CATL post suggests that this integrated system can increase the energy density to 255Wh/kg for ternary battery systems (NMC, NMCX etc), and 160Wh/kg for LFP battery systems. Essentially removing the overheads … Read more
