A battery system for storing electrical power and supplying electrical power to a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes multiple battery packs, each with a plurality of cells. The cells in each battery pack are electrically connected with one another and the multiple battery packs are also electrically connected with one another to combine the total energy output of the cells of the system. The electrical connections between at least some of the cells include a severable feature, whereby the electrical connection is severed locally at the severable feature in response to an impact force that is in excess of a predetermined magnitude and/or an overcurrent/overtemperature condition.

摘要:
A battery pack comprises a plurality of electrochemical cells and a housing. The cells have similar shape and size. The shape is a rectangular prism with opposing major faces. The cells are aligned in a stack along an axis of the pack so that one of the major faces of each cell contacts the major face of the adjacent cell. The housing comprises a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion comprises a top plate and four side plates joined to the top plate so as to form a cavity with an opening. The cross-sectional area of the opening is at least slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the stack, and the cross-sectional area of the cavity in a plane closer to the top plate is sized so that the stack fits snugly therein. The battery stack is disposed in the housing. The bottom portion closes the opening.

摘要:
A battery system having interconnected battery packs is disclosed. Each battery pack includes a plurality of rectangular prismatic shaped cells. Each cell includes a positive terminal at one end and a negative terminal at the other end. The cells are housed in a battery pack housing in a side-by-side manner. The cells may be electrically connected in series so that the positive terminal for a cell extends toward and contacts the negative terminal of an adjacent cell and the negative terminal for the cell extends toward and contacts the positive terminal of another adjacent cell.

An electrochemical storage cell is disclosed that comprises a core and a rectangular shell that receives the core snugly therein. The rectangular shell has first and second open ends. A first end cap is used to close the first open end. An anode terminal extends through the first end cap from an interior portion of the electrochemical storage cell to an external portion thereof. A first gasket is secured within the rectangular shell between the first end cap and the core to resiliently hold the core away from the first end cap. A second end cap is used to close the second open end. A cathode terminal extends through the second end cap from an interior portion of the electrochemical storage cell to an external portion thereof. A second gasket is secured within the rectangular shell between the second end cap and the core to resiliently hold the core away from the second end cap.

摘要:
A safety valve for battery has a valve body (1) and a valve core (2). The valve body (1) is fixed on a cover plate (4) of a battery and covers a discharging hole (9) in the cover plate (4) of the battery. The valve body (1) is formed with an exhaust opening (3) which is communicated with an internal space of the valve body (1). The valve core (2) is elastically held between a top cover (11) of the valve body (1) and the cover plate (4) of the battery. A plurality of columns (6) are arranged at intervals along a circumference of a gap between a side wall of the valve core (2) and an inner wall of the valve body (1). A cavity defined by every two adjacent columns (6), the side wall of the valve core (2) and the inner wall of the valve body (1) forms as a side exhaust slot (7) which is communicated with the exhaust opening (3) in the valve body (1).
