Lithium battery pack fixture

How does a battery fixture work?

The fixture applies a constant stack pressure to the face of the battery through the pneumatic actuator and is transferred through two carbon-inlaid 3D-printed plates. This material electrically isolates the battery to prevent the risk of short circuits and provides sufficient stiffness to improve pressure distribution.

How much pressure can a lithium-pouch battery hold?

The pressure fixture held pressures within −40% to ＋25%. Constant pressure improved discharge power and resistance up to 4% and 2.5%. Current research involving applying stack pressure to lithium-pouch cells has shown both performance and lifetime benefits.

Do lithium ion pouch cells benefit from Stack pressure?

Lithium-ion pouch cells may not benefit from the capacity increase from stack pressure as with lithium-metal anode and silicon-blend anode cells, where much higher stack pressures showed improvements in capacity , .

How does a nitial stack pressure affect a lithium-pouch cell?

e to lithium-pouch cells has shown bothperformance d lifetime benefits. Fixtures are used to mimic this at the cel level andconventionally rescribe a constant displacement onto t e cell. This increases stack pres-sure, but al causes pressure to vary. Despite this, applying an nitial stack pressureimproves cell

Does constant pressure affect lithium-ion pouch cell performance?

The performance impacts of constant pressure on lithium-ion pouch cell is relatively unknown. As previously discussed, constant pressure research has been previously focused on low amplitude (< 40 N Jiang et al. ) or amplitudes above 1 MPa for lithium-metal chemistries .
