Benchmarking Battery Pack Volume

BYD Seal battery pack scaled to estimate dimensions

Benchmarking battery pack volume is difficult as not many manufacturers give you a volume or even basic dimensions. This means we have to hunt for the data. Metrics In some cases manufacturers make a claim for the pack volumetric energy density. If you know the total energy the volume is easy to calculate: Scaling Sometimes … Read more

Battery Pack Volume

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
