For example, the battery pack of a Nissan Leaf EV consists of 192 cells, with two cells in parallel; for a Chevrolet Volt PHEV, the battery pack is made of 288 cells, with three cells in parallel, to meet the 350-V system voltage requirement , .
The packs’ primary components are the modules, often connected electrically in series and constructed by a set of cells. These cells can either be cylindrical, prismatic or pouch as illustrated in Figure 6. (4) The electrolyte used in the battery packs varies depending on what kind of cell that is employed.
The BMS and power relays can be found inside the pack whereas the DC-DC converter, HV controller and other HV units are mounted in other parts of the vehicle. Furthermore, the pack consist of ten modules, divided in two rows and two levels with the lower modules containing 30 cells and the upper modules 24.
Pack 2 has a greater cell capacity difference of 24.37 Ah, about 20 % of the rated capacity. Such a large capacity difference is set to better verify the effectiveness and stability of the proposed method on battery packs with severe capacity inconsistency. Fig. 12. Cell capacities and initial capacities of the battery pack. (a) Pack 1 (b) Pack 2.
The available capacity of a battery pack is usually smaller than that of any single cell in the pack due to the cask effect caused by the inconsistency of the pack [46, 47].
We further establish a connection between the battery pack and its series cells to enable pack capacity estimation. The proposed method is verified based on two sets of battery pack tests comprising 60 cells in series and with severe capacity inconsistency.
