I wonder if the apparent contradiction can be explained by the difference between the energy density of a cell (i.e. a single instance) vs of a battery (i.e. a practical aggregation of a number of cells)? I don't know how much space the cooling etc. takes up in a practical lithium-ion battery.
- zardo 5y agoIn this case, energy density refers to the energy per unit mass, not volume. But your point still applies, for application in a vehicle you need to compare the mass of the complete battery systems, not just the cells in isolation.
- londons_explore 5y agoAs battery designs are getting better, the difference is getting smaller and smaller. Turns out cooling systems can have very thin tubes with very thin walls.
