3 factors that impact gap filler reworkability in EV battery packs
Sponsored by Parker LORD The design of electric vehicle battery packs may vary among manufacturers but commonly, the battery is attached to its cooling plate not only with fasteners but also thermally conductive polymeric materials called gap fillers. Gap fillers can outperform thermal pads in this application to achieve lower thermal impedance, as the gap… Read more »

Free eBook: Battery thermal management in hybrids & EVs
Sponsored by Elkem Thermal management is an important discussion topic in battery-powered systems when considering insulation, heat and power transfer, conduction and convection, in order to maintain the battery pack temperature within a tight tolerance to reduce thermal runaway. Thermal management of batteries in H&EVs is essential for the effective operation of motors in all… Read more »
Liquid cooling in electric vehicles: What to know to keep EVs on the go
Sponsored By CPC The number of electric vehicles on the road is increasing, but not as quickly as many may think. Fast, efficient and accessible charging is a major barrier to the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), particularly as it relates to longer-distance trips. The current range of today’s electric vehicles is about 200-250… Read more »
MAHLE’s new battery housing delivers same power from 40% smaller batteries
MAHLE has developed a new battery housing concept with integrated thermal management designed to increase rapid charging capability and vehicle range. MAHLE claims the new housing allows manufacturers to use batteries that are about 40% smaller, which not only reduces the CO2 footprint of the EV, but also lowers the demand for raw battery materials….
