Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to energy storage systems for vehicles. In some aspects, the energy storage system may be used to power an electric automobile. The energy storage system may include a plurality of individual battery cells. The cells may be cylindrical and have a positive and negative terminal on the same side. The cells may be physically and/or electrically organized into bricks. The bricks may be physically and/or electrically organized into modules. The modules may be physically and/or electrically organized into strings. The strings may be physically and/or electrically organized into a pack. In some embodiments, packs, strings, modules and/or bricks may include flexible circuitry and/or may be liquid cooled.

Abstract: An adaptive multi-string battery for an electric vehicle is disclosed herein. The battery strings can adaptively be connected to the power bus bars based on the output voltage to be discharged with load. During operation of the vehicle, the voltage, current, and estimate charge can be constantly monitored to change the connected status of the battery strings to the power buses to allow connecting or disconnecting of the battery strings adaptively.
