Custom lithium battery pack maker Alexander Battery Technologies has installed “the world’s most advanced laser welding machine”, it said, at its factory in Peterlee, UK. “The EV Flex laser welder uses machine vision and configurable optics to produce micrometer-accurate welds between the terminals on a battery cell and busbar,” according to the company. “Employing optical laser depth detection, the EV ...
Huntsman, owner of the Araldite brand, has developed polyurethane, epoxy and carbon nanotube materials for vehicle battery construction and protection. For underbody battery protection, Rimline (=polyurethane) wet compression moulding material are low-viscosity liquid resins for low-pressure moulding of composites with a high fibre volume fraction – formulated for high-pressure mix machines. Rimline FC (foam core) has flow properties designed for ...
Texas Instruments is claiming a first for a 100V high-side battery protection chip. Bq76200 drives high-side n-channel charge and discharge FETs in batteries for drones, power tools and e-bikes. “Compared to typical 50V low-side FET driver solutions, the 100V high-side FET driver provides greater protection against possible inductive transient events in motor-driven applications. “Bq76200 also helps maintain constant battery monitoring and ...
