Did you know NMC batteries have only been around for a decade or two? Although widely used in today's electric vehicles (EVs), nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cathodes are a relatively recent innovation. When they first entered the EV scene, … [Read more...]
How do cell formats affect EV battery size, weight, and energy density
The cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch cells have different form factors, energy densities, and weights. Therefore, their use cases in electric vehicles (EVs) differ depending on the applications. This article will compare the three parameters of the … [Read more...]
What is cell balancing in a BMS and why is it important?
Cell balancing refers to the process of equalizing the charge across all cells in an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack, ensuring each cell charges and discharges at the same rate. The process is beneficial in a battery management system (BMS) to … [Read more...]
What are the different EV battery cell pack designs and which one is preferred?
Manufacturing electric vehicle (EV) battery packs starts with the individual cells, which serve as the primary energy storage units for powering the vehicle's electric motor. The configuration and design of these cells can significantly impact key … [Read more...]
