from chemistry to pack
Battery pack Ragone plot is power density versus energy density. There are a number of key battery metrics and this one is great to see where a design sits on the Power vs Energy Density Curve. Note that the power is the peak power of the pack available for 10s. You could also plot the … Read more
The Nissan Leaf is perhaps the iconic original OEM BEV. Therefore, interesting to see how it performs against the competition over the years. The pack gravimetric density versus year of introduction is an interesting plot. Arguably the energy density should be outstanding as these packs are passively cooled. However, they are also conservative with respect … Read more
Pack Gravimetric Energy Density has the units Wh/kg and is a key pack metric. The optimum metric is a high Wh/kg. Hence: The best you can achieve will be less than or equal to the cell Wh/kg that the pack is made from. Perhaps the simplest of the battery metrics as the capacity of the cell … Read more
