Traction batteries: chemistries, capacity, health and the systems that manage them.
3 terms
A battery pack is the complete traction battery assembly of an electric vehicle: cells, modules, cooling, electronics and housing integrated as one unit.
An LFP battery, or lithium iron phosphate battery, is a lithium-ion chemistry valued in EVs for long cycle life, safety and low cost rather than density.
A lithium-ion battery stores energy by moving lithium ions between electrodes and is the dominant traction battery technology in modern electric vehicles.
