Battery casings are essential components in all types of lithium and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and typically consist of nickel-coated steel hard casings for 18650 and 21700 cell formats. These steel casings comprise over one quarter of total battery cell mass and do not actively contribute to battery capacity.
The casings that house the lithium-ion battery modules used in electric vehicles (EVs) must provide a vital combination of heat resistance, sustainability, processability and high strength.
Stress & abuse testing of the cells revealed no compromise of cell safety. Battery casings are essential components in all types of lithium and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and typically consist of nickel-coated steel hard casings for 18650 and 21700 cell formats.
In order to achieve research goals and the safest possible outcome for a battery pack casing made up of polymeric material we selected four materials i.e., PLA (Polylactic Acid), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) and FR-ABS (Flame-Retardant Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).
These steel casings comprise over one quarter of total battery cell mass and do not actively contribute to battery capacity. It is therefore possible to achieve considerable battery performance improvements, in terms of device energy density, by reducing the mass of the battery casing.
Battery cases used as part of the chassis is an opportunity for composites, as designers need to close off the case with the top and bottom covers. This is good for torsional stiffness of car body. Then there is the side impact load case, which needs to transfer the load across the side rails.
