This is a series of blogposts about battery thermal management. Building on university research data I’ll discuss ideal temperature range for discharging and charging. Furthermore I will look into heating and cooling batteries. Next post is about Tesla’s thermal management. A separate one for what other OEM’s do. After that I’ll share the details of my build as DIY inspiration. Finally I’ll gather and share temperature data in practice while using an electric vehicle.
Use Tesla parts in your electric car conversion to reduce costs and increase quality. Learn how to reuse Tesla thermal management system parts in your build. Read more : Using Tesla thermal management system parts »
Is there such thing as an ideal battery temperature? Building on university research data we discuss battery temperature and discharge, charge and conclude ideal temperature is a tradeoff between maximizing capacity and preventing degradation. Read more : Ideal battery temperature? »
