Eaton introduces 3-in-1 EV battery pack vent valve
Power management company Eaton has introduced a 3-in-1 battery pack vent valve for EV batteries. The valve is capable of three functions: battery case leak-checking, and both passive and active venting to provide battery pack overpressure relief. The company says the leak-check mechanism eliminates the need to install the vent valve as the final step… Read more »
DLR Institute leads project to research calcium-sulfur battery technology
DLR Stuttgart has announced that it will coordinate an effort to determine the potential of the so-called calcium-sulfur (Ca-S) battery as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The CaSino project, conducted by a consortium of five research institutions, two industrial companies and an industrial advisory board, is being funded with 3 million euros by the German… Read more »
Thermal runaway early detection: critical sensors and connections for safe battery management
Sponsored by TTI and Amphenol. Battery management systems (BMS)—the electronic brains that monitors and maintains lithium ion battery packs—are essential for the safe and efficient operation of the batteries powering a variety of applications, including electric vehicles. The growth of electric vehicle technology is driven by the desire for reduced emissions, quieter and less expensive… Read more »
Metis’s Battery Safety Sensor earns ISO certification, enters UK production
Metis Engineering has earned ISO certification of its Production Battery Safety Sensor, which designed to monitor the health of a lithium-ion battery pack and detect cell venting. The sensor was developed using ISO26262 processes, and has been tested to ISO Automotive Standards by Applus+ 3C Test, an independent testing house. Manufacturing of the production version… Read more »
Virtual Twin For Battery Engineering
With the rise of Battery Powered Electric Vehicle, our world is becoming more and more dependent on batteries especially in Transportation & Mobility and High Tech industries. These disruptive changes are driven by regulations and consumers demands (Range, cost, sustainability, etc.). The complete value chain from material suppliers to Battery makers to Automotive/High Tech OEMs… Read more »
ONE’s hybrid battery pack combines the best aspects of two chemistries to deliver 600 miles of EV range
Q&A with ONE CTO Dr. Steven Kaye. There is a wide range of characteristics that describe the performance of any given battery chemistry: energy density, specific energy, specific power, discharge efficiency, self-discharge rate, cycle life, calendar life, and—not the least important—cost. Some types of Li-ion chemistries are really good in a few characteristics but fall… Read more »
