Despite most electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers resorting to lithium batteries, these betters can suffer through thermal runaway if damaged under very high loads, overcharged, or exposed to high temperatures. Such a situation can lead to fire or an explosion of a battery pack, putting EV passengers at risk.
Therefore, Littelfuse an American electronics manufacturing company based in Chicago developed a new technology platform, TTape Distributed Temperature Monitoring Device to enable early detection of localized battery cell overheating.
The platform has been devised to improve the performance and lifespan of EV batteries by providing advanced temperature monitoring.
Mitigating risks of battery thermal runaway
Aiming to mitigate the risks of battery thermal runaway, TTape presents a creative temperature monitoring solution for lithium-ion batteries used in EVs.
TTape is a thin, flexible strip of tape embedded with closely spaced…
