Lithium Battery Pack Pack Basics
Lithium Battery Pack (Battery Pack) it is to combine multiple lithium battery cells in an appropriate way to form a battery system with specific voltage and capacity. Lithium battery pack is widely used in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, energy storage systems, and other devices that require electrical energy storage and supply. This article will introduce you to the basic knowledge of lithium battery pack, including its composition, design principles, manufacturing processes, management systems, and safety.
I. Composition of lithium battery pack
the basic components of lithium battery pack include the following parts:
1. Battery monomer
battery unit is the basic component of lithium battery pack, usually composed of multiple cell. Each cell has independent voltage and capacity, and the total voltage and capacity of battery pack is determined by the series and parallel combination of cell. The types of lithium battery monomer mainly include:
- cylindrical Battery: common in consumer electronics products, such as models 18650 and 21700.
- Square Battery: it is usually used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems with high energy density.
- Soft Pack Battery
2. Battery management system (BMS)
battery Management System is an important part of lithium battery pack, responsible for monitoring and managing the battery charging and discharging process. The main functions of the BMS include:
- voltage monitoring: monitor the voltage of each battery cell in real time to ensure that no overcharge or overdischarge occurs.
- Temperature Monitoring: monitor the temperature of the battery pack to prevent potential safety hazards caused by overheating.
- Balanced management: through active or passive balancing technology, the voltage of each battery cell is ensured to be consistent, and the overall performance and service life of the battery pack are improved.
- Fault Diagnosis: real-time monitoring of battery status, timely detection and handling of faults.
3. Protection circuit
the protection circuit is used to protect the safe operation of battery pack under abnormal conditions. It usually includes functions such as overcharge protection, overdischarge protection, short circuit protection, and temperature protection. These protection measures can effectively prevent battery pack potential safety hazards caused by improper operation or failure.
4. Shell and structure
the shell and structure design of lithium battery pack is crucial to its safety and reliability. The shell material usually adopts aluminum alloy or engineering plastic, which can effectively resist external impact and environmental impact. At the same time, reasonable internal structure design can effectively reduce heat accumulation by battery pack and improve heat dissipation performance.
II. Design principles of lithium battery pack
when designing a lithium battery pack, several important factors need to be considered to ensure its performance and safety:
1. Capacity and voltage matching
the design of lithium battery pack must first determine the required capacity and voltage. Capacity is usually expressed in hours (Ah), while voltage is expressed in volts (V). Designers need to select an appropriate number of battery cells for series and parallel combination according to specific application requirements.
2. Heat dissipation design
lithium battery will generate a certain amount of heat during charging and discharging, and reasonable heat dissipation design can effectively prevent overheating. When designing, battery pack heat dissipation channels, heat dissipation materials, and natural convection or forced convection should be considered.</p>
3. Balanced management
the voltage imbalance between battery cells will affect the overall performance and life of lithium battery pack. In the design, the balanced management scheme should be considered to ensure that the voltage of each cell is consistent, thus improving the working efficiency of battery pack.
4. Safety design
the safety of lithium battery pack is very important, and various safety protection measures need to be considered when designing, including battery overcharge protection, overdischarge protection, temperature protection, etc. At the same time, the shell material should have good impact resistance and corrosion resistance to ensure the safe use of battery pack in various environments.
III. Lithium battery pack manufacturing process
the manufacturing process of lithium battery pack mainly includes the following steps:
1. Selection of battery monomer
select the appropriate lithium battery monomer according to the design requirements to ensure that its performance, capacity and voltage meet the requirements.
2. Detection of battery monomer
before assembly, the selected battery cells are strictly tested, including voltage, capacity, internal resistance, temperature and other parameters to ensure their quality and performance.
3. Assembly
to assemble the selected battery cells according to the design scheme, it is usually necessary to use special connectors and welding equipment to ensure that the connection between batteries is firm and reliable.
4. Assemble BMS and protection circuit
after the assembly is completed, install the battery management system and protection circuit to ensure the normal operation and safety of battery pack.
5. Testing and verification
after the assembly is completed, conduct comprehensive tests and verifications on lithium battery pack battery pack, including charge and discharge tests, temperature tests and safety tests, to ensure the reliability of battery pack in practical applications.
lithium battery pack is widely used in many fields, including:
1. Electric car
