Continuous Current Rating

Continuous power versus battery nominal voltage graph

At some point in the development of a battery pack design you need to consider the continuous current rating. Do this for charge and discharge as this then gives you one for the fundamental requirements to determine: Plotting continuous power versus system nominal voltage it is possible to see the voltage/power/current design points. Typically electric … Read more

Electrical System of Battery

The electrical design of the battery pack is associated with fundamental electrical elements. These elements are Busbars, Contactors, Fuses, pre-charge resistors, current sensors, HV (High Voltage) and LV (Low Voltage) Connectors, and wiring harnesses. Busbars are electrically conductive materials that maintain current flow from the cells to the external electrical loads. Aluminum and copper are … Read more
