Pack Mass from Cell Density

It is possible to use the battery pack database to estimate the pack mass from cell density. The key relationship we have is between cell and pack gravimetric energy density. This graph has been pulled together by scouring the internet for cell and battery data. The ratio of cell density to pack density is 0.6235 … Read more

Contactor Mass

Schaltbau contactors

For many applications contactor mass doesn’t matter, but for aviation every gram counts and hence we wanted to look for a trend. Contactor mass plotted versus continuous current rating. Not very much data with just 23 parts, but it appears that we are seeing distinct masses based on frame size. Hence a relationship to continuous … Read more
