Higher Voltage Packs

Continuous charge / discharge power versus nominal voltage

Why are we moving to higher voltage packs? We know that the battery cell is not a perfect current source as it also has an internal resistance. Symbolically we can show a cell with the internal resistance as a resistor in series. Rint is the DC internal resistance, sometimes abbreviated as DCIR. The DCIR is not … Read more

Current Limit Estimation

There are a number of reasons to estimate the charge and discharge current limits of a battery pack in real time: Hence this is a key function of the Battery Management System (BMS). The difficulty is that the current limits are dependent on a number of factors, for the cell alone we should consider the … Read more

Cylindrical Cell Comparison 4680 vs 21700 vs 18650

In this Article, we will compare different Cylindrical Cell Sizes used in electric Vehicles. 4680 vs 21700 vs 18650.

Battery Module: Manufacturing, Assembly and Test Process Flow.

In this article, we will look at the Battery Module Production. There are 7 Steps for Battery Module Production.

Electric Vehicle On Board Charger

Current from the Grid (AC) goes through EVSE (Charging Station Either Level 1 or 2) through a connector to the On Board Charger. The Onboard Charger rectifies or converts the current into DC and sends it via the Battery Management System (BMS) to the Battery Pack

Battery Management System

Batteries are the heart of an Electric Vehicle but the Battery Management System is more like the brain which keeps the Heart pumping out electricity to the Motor safely and at required output. Electric
