Week 3 Challenge
- What are the advantages of having battery modules in a battery pack?
- How is the specification of an individual battery module specified?
Aim- To provide the advantages of having battery modules in a battery pack and the specification of an individual battery module of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle or an Electric vehicle.
Introduction- In simple words, the battery module is a kind of connection of the cells of the multiple batteries that are connected in parallel or series. A battery pack is a key part of a hybrid electric vehicle or an electric vehicle that is made by the connection of more than one number of batteries and that are responsible to provide electric power to the motor of the vehicle.
Importance- In a hybrid electric vehicle or an electric vehicle, the battery module or battery pack is responsible to provide the power to the motor by which the vehicle will run.
Applications- Battery packs are used in all kinds of electric equipment or vehicle. For example, electric vehicles, lawn movers, phones, and many more.
Advantages of having battery modules in a battery pack are shown below,
- The battery can be swapped into or out of the device easily without any hurdle
- It will provide multiple battery packs to deliver long runtimes
- We can separately remove any battery pack separately while charging
- In a battery pack, we can connect a greater number of cells with each other and as per the need
The specification of an individual battery module is specified by the following,
- Cell module and packs
- Battery classification
- C rate of the battery
- E rate of the battery
- Secondary cells of the battery
- Primary cells of the battery
- Depth of the discharge of the battery
- Terminal voltage o the battery
- Open circuit voltage of the battery
