Seems like there is a lot of room for improvement?
Reducing the sheer number of casings on individual cells would radically reduce weight/volume.
Then with less groups of cells you could actually have the BMS monitor them like my lifepo lithium battery for bicycle.
- aberkowitz 12y agoI'm pretty sure the casings are there for fire isolation
- ck2 12y agoYes but couldn't you have a casing that holds a dozen cells instead of a casing on each individual cell? If a cell burns it is going to take out its neighbors anyway. Or they could start to do something similar to LiFePo4 which will not burn.
- retroencabulato 12y agoFuck safety, they should just stuff the door panels with cells!
- Gravityloss 12y agoThere are reports that the casing is a significant portion of the pack price. It might not be that the number of layers makes it fundamentally expensive.But instead the design and manufacturing might not be yet very optimized.
