🆕 New blog: Convection isn’t cool: battery thermal control during model development
🔗 https://lnkd.in/eD_HyQfv
In our latest blog, which is a two-parter, we challenge the status quo by exploring how one of the most important parameters is rarely controlled effectively.
Battery testing traditionally relies on thermal chambers, which are inadequate for temperature control with large format and high power batteries, limiting scientific insight.
Over several years, we have adapted custom hardware to achieve precise temperature control using Peltier technology, providing benefits across a range of industry topics.
Key Takeaways:
🔋 Challenges of Battery Testing: Characterising cell performance against requires measurements to be taken at accurately controlled temperatures.
🔥Benefits of Isothermal Testing: Our Peltier thermal control method allows for precise temperature control of a cell under test.
🔢Quantifying our Thermal Control Method: The Peltier system outperforms traditional methods by reducing temperature fluctuation by as much as 98%, resulting in more reliable battery test data.
Stay tuned for Part 2, which focuses on data from the Molicel P45B to demonstrate how improved thermal control enhances decisions regarding lifetime, safety, and state estimation.
