BATTERY MODULE, METHOD OF MAKING SAME, AND END PLATE UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481347 titled 'BATTERY MODULE, METHOD OF MAKING SAME, AND END PLATE UNIT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a battery module with multiple battery cells connected in series and/or parallel to form a cell stack, with an end plate unit adjacent to a terminally arranged battery cell.
- Battery module with multiple battery cells connected in series and/or parallel
- Cells arranged adjacent to each other in a longitudinal direction to form a cell stack
- End plate unit adjacent to terminally arranged battery cell
- End plate unit comprises at least two end plates mechanically connected to the same side surface of the cell
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices.
Problems Solved
The innovation solves the problem of efficiently connecting multiple battery cells in a module while ensuring mechanical stability and electrical conductivity.
Benefits
The battery module design allows for a compact and efficient arrangement of battery cells, improving overall performance and reliability.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be utilized in electric vehicle batteries, grid energy storage systems, and consumer electronics, enhancing their energy storage capabilities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of individual end plates for battery cells in a module, but the specific design of mechanically connecting separate end plates to the same side surface of a cell may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the overall weight of the battery module?
The abstract does not provide information on the weight implications of this design.
What materials are used for the end plates in this battery module?
The abstract does not specify the materials used for the end plates in this innovation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery module having a plurality of battery cells () which are electrically conductively connected to one another in series and/or in parallel and are arranged adjacent to one another in a longitudinal direction () of the battery module (), so that a cell stack () is formed. An end plate unit () is arranged adjacent to a terminally arranged battery cell (), wherein the end plate unit () comprises at least two end plates () formed separately from one another, which are each mechanically connected to a same side surface () of the terminally arranged battery cell ().
