BATTERY MODULE AND ESS COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276983 titled 'BATTERY MODULE AND ESS COMPRISING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The battery module described in the abstract consists of a sub-module stack with a cooling member, battery cells, and bus bar frame assemblies for electrical connection.

  • The sub-module stack is formed by stacking multiple sub-modules, each containing a cooling member with a coolant flow path and battery cells on both surfaces.
  • A pair of bus bar frame assemblies are coupled to the sub-module stack to electrically connect the battery cells.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices.

Problems Solved

This innovation helps in efficient cooling of battery cells, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the battery module.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved thermal management, increased safety, and enhanced overall performance of the battery module.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be utilized in electric vehicle batteries, renewable energy storage systems, and consumer electronics, offering a competitive advantage in the market.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be battery modules with individual cooling systems for each cell, which may not be as efficient or cost-effective as the integrated cooling member in this innovation.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to traditional battery cooling methods?

This technology offers a more integrated and efficient cooling solution compared to traditional methods, but the specific performance metrics and cost implications need to be further explored.

What impact could this technology have on the overall cost of battery modules?

While the integrated cooling member may add some initial cost to the battery module, the long-term benefits in terms of performance and longevity could potentially offset this cost. Further analysis is needed to determine the overall cost-effectiveness of this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

A battery module includes a sub-module stack formed by stacking a plurality of sub-modules including a cooling member having a coolant flow path and a plurality of battery cells disposed on both surfaces of the cooling member; and a pair of bus bar frame assemblies coupled to one side and the other side of the sub-module stack to electrically connect the plurality of battery cells.
