What are the components of a lithium-ion battery pack?

Lithium-ion battery packs have many components, including cells, BMS electronics, thermal management, and enclosure design. Engineers must balance cost, performance, safety, and manufacturability when designing battery packs. Continued technology improvements will enable safer, cheaper, smaller, and more powerful lithium-ion packs.

Is there a standard size lithium-ion battery pack?

Perhaps the first and most important statement we can make about battery packaging is this: there is no standard size lithium-ion battery pack and there is not likely to be one in the near future.

Which companies use lithium-ion batteries in space based applications?

Companies such as ABSL, Quallion, Saft, and Mitsubishi Electric have spent many years developing products for use in orbital satellites and other space-based applications. During the battery industry consolidation that occurred in the early 2010s, lead Figure 26 Community energy storage unit. Lithium-Ion Battery Applications 207

What is Li-ion battery pack engineering?

pack, the electronics for the control system, the thermal management of the cells, the elec- tronics and software that manage the system, and the mechanical and structural components of the battery. In other words, the single topic of Li-ion battery pack engineering involves almost every engineering field.

What are the components of a lithium ion battery?

The fourth component of a lithium-ion battery is the enclosure, which is most often a can or pouch, in which the jellyroll is inserted. This may take the form of a metal can, a plastic housing, or a polymer type “pouch.” Once this is done, the fifth element is added to the mix—an electrolyte.

Are there any sizing tools for lithium ion batteries?

Battery Sizing Tools When it comes to lithium-ion battery sizing tools, there are not currently any industry stan- dards developed in order to assist the system designer in generating an initial specification for a lithium-ion-based energy storage system. This is a weakness in the current literature on the Computer-Aided Design and Analysis 63
