Tesla 4680 battery cooling

Caution: This is a very difficult pack to reconcile the numbers around at the moment and so we are continually updating our calculations and estimates. We will get there, but it might take some time. Specifications: Assuming the 4680 cell from the Munro teardown is correct at 23.35Ah then we have the following parameters: Assuming … Read more

Tesla 4680 Cathode Porosity

Indicative numbers for the Tesla 4680 cathode porosity, estimated based on 2D images of the Batch 1 and 2 cells originally analysed for The Limiting Factor by the Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion, UC San Diego. This image analysis and estimation was performed by Addionics based on the original Tesla 4680 cell benchmarking. Analysis … Read more

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
