BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18616448 titled 'BATTERY PACK
The abstract describes a battery pack with a unique arrangement of battery cells and bus bars to improve electrical output and simplify the structure.
- The battery pack includes battery cells arranged in a first direction with main, upper, lower, and side surfaces.
- First and second bus bars connect the battery cells in an alternating manner, avoiding direct connections between adjacent cells in the first direction.
- A third bus bar connects output terminals on the front side and adjacent cells on the rear side of the battery pack.
- The design allows for easy electrical connection to external devices, improves electrical output, and eliminates interference between cooling and electrical structures.
- The battery pack is slim and efficiently designed for practical use.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Portable electronic devices - Energy storage systems
Problems Solved: - Simplified electrical connections - Improved efficiency - Reduced interference between components
Benefits: - Enhanced electrical output - Easy integration with external devices - Slim and compact design
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Battery Pack Design for Enhanced Performance This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage systems, offering improved efficiency and reliability in various commercial sectors.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the unique arrangement of bus bars in this battery pack improve electrical output? 2. What are the potential implications of this design for the electric vehicle industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery pack is disclosed. The battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells arranged in a first direction, each including a pair of main surfaces arranged to face each other in the first direction. Each of the battery cells also includes upper and lower surfaces forming a pair of long sides facing each other, and first and second side surfaces forming a pair of short sides facing each other. First and second bus bars electrically connect the plurality of battery cells to each other in an alternating manner such that battery cells adjacent to each other in the first direction are not electrically connected by the first and second bus bars. A third bus bar electrically connects first and second output terminals formed together on a front side of the plurality of battery cells in the first direction, and the third bus bar electrically connects adjacent battery cells to each other at a rear side of the plurality of the battery cells. The battery pack may be easily electrically connected to a set device, has a simplified structured with improved electrical output, may eliminate interference between a cooling structure and an electrical connection structure, and is advantageously slim.
