CYLINDRICAL CELL-BASED PARAMETRIC BATTERY MODULE FOR FLEXIBLE ASSEMBLY AND PACKAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887996 titled 'CYLINDRICAL CELL-BASED PARAMETRIC BATTERY MODULE FOR FLEXIBLE ASSEMBLY AND PACKAGING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a battery module with a housing, positive and negative terminals, cylindrical battery cells connected in parallel, and bus bars connecting the groups in series.

  • Positive and negative terminals are located on the exterior of the housing.
  • Cylindrical battery cells are grouped in sets of two or more and connected in parallel.
  • Bus bars electrically connect the groups in series.
  • The bus bars connect the positive terminals of the cells in one group to the positive terminal of the module, and the negative terminals of the cells in another group to the negative terminal of the module.

Potential Applications

  • Electric vehicles
  • Energy storage systems
  • Portable electronic devices

Problems Solved

  • Efficient energy storage
  • Simplified battery module design
  • Enhanced electrical connectivity

Benefits

  • Improved battery performance
  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Enhanced safety features


Original Abstract Submitted

A battery module includes: a positive terminal disposed on an exterior of a housing of the battery module; a negative terminal disposed on the exterior of the housing of the battery module; groups of two or more cylindrical battery cells electrically connected in parallel; and electrically conductive bus bars that electrically connect the groups in series, that electrically connect positive terminals of the cylindrical battery cells of a first one of the groups with the positive terminal of the battery module, and that electrically connect negative terminals of the cylindrical battery cells of a second one of the groups with the negative terminal of the battery module.
