    Divas of the EV world

    Li-ion batteries have high performance, but very

    temperamental

    Key problem: dealing with heat generated by cellsduring charge, discharge and ambient conditions

    If cells get too hot, three problems:

    Decreased battery life Decreased performance

    Risk of fire or explosion

    Thermal degradation is a hot button issue

    Thermal management of lithium- ion battery

    systems is cr i t ica l to th e suc cess o f al l -e lectr ic

    vehic les because extreme temperatures can

    affect perfo rmance, rel iabi l i ty, safety and

    durability. V. Anand Sankaran, Executive technical leader, Ford Energy Storage& High Voltage Electrical Systems

    The di f ferent chemis tr ies

    have different thermal

    characteristics and so weve

    been able to incorp orate howto make sure from a thermal

    perspective that weve got

    As a result, the LEAF pack wil l h ave

    temperatures all over the place,

    causing i t to suf fer huge degradation in

    cold environments and b asically shut

    Concluding Remarks

    One size does not fit all...variety of cell typesand applications necessitates customized

    solutions

    Chemistry advances are only one piece of

    solution...thermal management and intelligent

    electronics play significant role

    Safety problems still exist...high energy and
