FLAME RESISTANT BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18434844 titled 'FLAME RESISTANT BATTERY MODULE

Simplified Explanation

A battery module includes at least one cell group, a heat dissipating member, a flame retardant cover, and a flame retardant member. The heat dissipating member is coupled to one side of the cell group to externally dissipate heat generated in the cells. The cell group consists of at least one battery cell stack, with the flame retardant cover encasing both side surfaces and an upper portion of the stack. The flame retardant member is positioned between the upper surface of the stack and the cover, made of a porous material.

  • Battery module with heat dissipating member
  • Cell group with battery cell stack
  • Flame retardant cover encasing cell stack
  • Flame retardant member made of porous material

Potential Applications

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

Problems Solved

This innovation helps in dissipating heat generated in battery cells, reducing the risk of overheating and potential fire hazards.
