Battery pack layout

What is a battery pack design?

The basic explanation is how the battery cells are physically connected in series and parallel to achieve the desired power of the pack. Check out this design guide, Custom Battery Pack Design Guide - Manufacturing Capabilities. The physical layout of the configurations is typically designed to fit within a desired dimensional space.

How do I design a battery pack?

1. Define the requirements for the battery pack. This includes things like the desired capacity, voltage, size, and weight. 2. Select the appropriate battery chemistry and cell configuration based on the requirements. 3. Design the circuit that will connect the cells together in the desired configuration.

What is a battery pack design tool?

This tool streamlines the battery pack design process by providing a range of features and functionalities to assist in the design and optimization of battery packs. This is V1 of the tool, it's not perfect, it's not super pretty but it's extremely helpful.

How to design Li-ion battery packs?

As discussed, the designers of Li-ion battery packs should use a combination of different tools. These tools could be integrated into a common platform. The lack of an integrated design platform is evident in the literature. Integrating numerical tools, data-driven methods, and life cycle analysis could be a solution.
