from chemistry to pack
How can we go about maximising pack energy density? What can we look at to reduce the mass and volume? Where are the opportunities given a defined cell? A great example of shrinking the size of a battery pack is the Mercedes Vision EQXX research car. The advantage they had was a much more energy … Read more
Often it is difficult to estimate the battery pack volume, hence here is an approximation based on data fitting. Hence a first approximation is that the battery pack volume will be 5x the total energy in kWh. A 100kWh battery would have a volume of 500 litres. If this was a design optimised for volume … Read more
