Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are generally related to a battery pack having a carbon fiber battery case, the battery pack comprising a plurality of pouch cells. Further, the battery pack having a carbon fiber battery case may include a casing formed with carbon fiber, the casing having one or more carbon fiber separation sheets and, the casing configured to dissipate heat from the plurality of pouch cells in a direction along carbon fibers of the casing.
Claims22
A battery pack having a carbon fiber battery case, the battery pack comprising:
- a plurality of pouch cells;
- and
- a casing formed with carbon fiber, wherein the casing comprises:
- one or more carbon fiber separation sheets, and wherein the casing is configured to dissipate heat from the plurality of pouch cells in a direction along carbon fibers of the casing;
- and
- a first face disposed perpendicular to a second face, wherein the first face and the second face are mechanically connected to each other along at least one edge of each of the first face and the second face;
- and
- at least an opening disposed on and through a portion of the first face, wherein the at least an opening comprises grating configured to arrest liquid ejecta.
