Robust mechanical design and battery packaging can provide greater degree of protection against all of these. This chapter discusses design elements like thermal barrier and gas exhaust mechanism that can be integrated into battery packaging to mitigate the high safety risks associated with failure of an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack.
More than 75 sources including scientific and technical literature and particularly 43 US Patents are studied. The study illustrates through examples that simple mechanical features can be integrated into battery packaging design to minimise the probability of failure and mitigate the aforementioned safety risks.
Q2. How does battery pack design differ for various applications? Battery pack design varies significantly based on the application. Electric vehicles require high energy density and robust thermal management. Portable electronics prioritize compact designs with optimal power-to-weight ratios.
A robust and strategic battery packaging design should also address these issues, including thermal runaway, vibration isolation, and crash safety at the cell and pack level. Therefore, battery safety needs to be evaluated using a multi-disciplinary approach.
