Challenges Designing and Manufacturing Lithium-Ion Battery Packs
Why spend the time and money to develop and manufacture a custom lithium-ion battery pack when off-the-shelf battery packs are radially available? Custom battery packs can be designed to fit the unique needs of an end product’s size and shape, temperature, power, voltage, runtime, and interface requirements, which generic battery packs cannot meet.
Supply chain issues can be avoided with better control of all the components and “end-of-life” surprises prevented. Custom battery packs come with a host of design and manufacturing challenges. Each battery is unique and must be designed and fully tested for the intended application.
In addition, regulatory testing is mandatory to ensure that the new design can safely withstand environmental abuses expected and unexpected in the field.
In this webinar, we review off-the-shelf battery packs compared to custom battery packs, design challenges, requirements, manufacturing, and more.
