🔋 iAtlas Battery #12 | 🔋 Cell Design → 🏗️ Cell-to-Pack (CTP) & Cell-to-Chassis (CTC) Introduction Cell-to-Pack (CTP) and Cell-to-Chassis (CTC) are two of the most significant innovations in modern EV battery design. Understanding cell-to-pack vs. cell-to-chassis architecture helps explain how battery manufacturers are improving energy density, reducing vehicle weight, and simplifying battery manufacturing. Instead…
🔋 iAtlas Battery #11 | 🔋 Cell Design → 🌡️ Thermal Management Introduction Lithium-ion batteries perform best within a relatively narrow temperature range. If a battery becomes too hot, it can degrade more quickly or even experience thermal runaway. If it becomes too cold, charging slows down, power output decreases, and driving range is reduced….
🔋 iAtlas Battery #10 | 🔋 Cell Design → 🧠 Battery Management System (BMS) Introduction A lithium-ion battery pack contains hundreds or even thousands of individual battery cells. Without proper control, differences in voltage, temperature, and state of charge can reduce battery life or even create serious safety risks. A Battery Management System (BMS) acts…
🔋 iAtlas Battery #9 | 🔋 Cell Design → 📦 Battery Pack Architecture Introduction A single lithium-ion battery cell cannot power an electric vehicle on its own. Instead, hundreds or even thousands of battery cells are carefully connected into modules and battery packs. This architecture determines not only the battery’s voltage and capacity but also…
🔋 iAtlas Battery #8 | 🔋 Cell Design → 📦 Cell Formats Battery Cell Formats at a Glance Battery cell formats define the physical shape of a lithium-ion battery. The three dominant designs—cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch cells—each offer different advantages in manufacturing, thermal management, packaging efficiency, and cost. Table of Contents Introduction When people compare…
