Battery chemical reactions are at the heart of battery design Well-designed batteries power your equipment efficiently, reliably, and safely for a long lifespan. To achieve this combination of ideals, engineers evaluate certain design parameters, including voltage and power needs, length of duty cycle, temperature conditions, price, and more to guide their design choices. Battery chemistry is perhaps the most fundamental design choice. At their heart, all batteries are conveniently-packed electrochemical reactions. The ability of a battery to store and discharge electricity depends … [Read more...]

For battery safety and performance, invest in a battery thermal management system Battery thermal management allows batteries to safely and effectively provide power. At their heart, battery packs are conveniently-packaged electrochemical cells. When the battery is charged or discharged, a chemical reaction occurs. Like many chemical reactions, these reactions depend on temperature. Thermal management is all about maintaining batteries at temperatures that are safe and promote optimal battery performance. Custom battery packs are an investment. The application of good thermal management … [Read more...]
