BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18611361 titled 'BATTERY PACK
The battery pack described in the patent application consists of multiple bus bars that create parallel battery structures with two or more prismatic batteries connected in parallel. These bus bars then connect the parallel battery structures in series, forming a battery connection structure with a turn that reverses the direction of series connection.
- The battery pack includes multiple bus bars.
- Bus bars form parallel battery structures with prismatic batteries connected in parallel.
- The parallel battery structures are connected in series by the bus bars.
- A turn in the battery connection structure reverses the direction of series connection.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Efficient battery pack design - Improved battery connection structure
Benefits: - Enhanced battery performance - Increased energy efficiency - Simplified battery pack assembly
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Battery Pack Design for Enhanced Performance This technology can be used in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and various portable electronic devices, offering improved battery performance and energy efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the battery pack design impact the overall efficiency of electric vehicles? - The battery pack design plays a crucial role in enhancing the energy efficiency of electric vehicles by optimizing the connection structure and improving battery performance.
2. What are the key advantages of using prismatic batteries in parallel structures within the battery pack? - Prismatic batteries offer advantages such as higher energy density, improved thermal management, and easier integration into the battery pack design.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery pack includes a plurality of bus bars serving to form a plurality of parallel battery structures that each have parallel connection of two or more of a plurality of prismatic batteries. The plurality of bus bars electrically connect the plurality of prismatic batteries to connect the plurality of parallel battery structures in series. The plurality of parallel battery structures connected in series form a battery connection structure that includes a turn causing a reversal of direction of series connection of the plurality of parallel battery structures.
