Electric vehicle and battery manufacturers design preventive and containment strategies around EV battery thermal runaway. Thermal runaway prevention begins with optimized
EV battery design. Thermal runaway protection is enhanced with specialty materials and components that reduce the probability of a thermal runaway event and protect against thermal runaway propagation if a catastrophic event were to occur.
Li-ion battery cell-to-cell integrated cooling, heat isolating, and impact absorbing multi-layer complex assemblies protect against the thermal, environmental, and mechanical factors that cause battery thermal runaway. Proactively absorb impact, vibration and movement in the battery. Efficiently dissipate battery cell heat. Incorporate a flame or heat barrier in cell design to quickly isolate extreme heat or fire in the unlikely event battery safety design features fail to prevent cell-to-cell propagation.
Leverage smart design to prevent thermal runaway and protective solutions to isolate catastrophic battery events when they happen. Integrated EV battery thermal runaway protection solutions feature cooling fins or heat spreaders with compression pads and flame-rated electrical insulation to isolate li-ion battery cells.
