About cell:

The LithiumWerks ANR26650M1-B is the next generation of A123 Systems' pioneering 26650 cylindrical cell, now with greater power and energy density and lower impedance. This versatile lithium-ion cell is suitable for a wide variety of applications and system designs.
About module:
A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), such as by protecting the battery from operating outside its safe operating area, monitoring its state, calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment.
About Battery pack:
- A battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual battery cells.
- They may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both to deliver the desired voltage, capacity, or power density.
Mechanical Design of battery pack:
The high voltage battery it is one of the most important components of a battery electric vehicle (BEV).
The battery parameters have a significant influence on other components and attributes of the vehicle, like:
- maximum traction motor torque
- maximum regeneration brake torque
- vehicle range
- vehicle total weight
- vehicle price
Pretty much all major aspects of a pure electric vehicle (EV) depend on the parameters of the high voltage battery.
For our electric vehicle battery design we are going to start from 4 core input parameters:
- chemistry
- voltage
- average energy consumption of the vehicle on a driving cycle
- vehicle range

Battery pack capacity: 18 kWh
Voltage = 400v
1.Energy =18Kwh
2.No.of cells(n)=energy/nominal voltage*capacity
N = 18000/3.3*2.5
N=2182
So that we were required to bring the 2182 cells to get 18kwh energy on based on series and parrel connection
In series-Current is remained the whole process is const and voltage is various changes
In parallel-voltage is remained the whole process is const and current is various changes
And final 40v is required to run off battery vehicle
The nominal voltage of 1cell is 3.3V
Then the number of series cells required to produce 400V(ns)
Ns = voltage required/nominal voltage of one cell
Ns = 400/3.3
Ns = 121.21=122
122 cells are connected in series will get generated 400voltage
And capacity of the whole module will be 2.5AH
Now we need to find the number of cells which will be connected in a parallel(Np)
Np = total cell/Ns
=2182/122
Np = 18
3. Battery capacity
capacity = parallel cell row *individual cell capacity
capacity = 18*2.5
Capacity = 45Ah
4.Range
Range = capacity(energy consumed per kilometer)
Range = 18000/100
R = 180km
5.Current supplied by the battery
Already capacity is 45Ah and which considered as c-rate
6.Internal resistance of battery:
It means of negative terminal to positive terminal is known as internal resistance of battery
7.Weight of battery pack
Cell weight = 76Kg
Number of cells = 2182
Battery pack weight (w) = cell weight*number of cell+weight of accrssiors
W = 76*2182+4.5 = 165.8 = 166Kg
