Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, and more specifically, to an electric vehicle battery adapter and an electric vehicle. Background Art
[0002] In the electric vehicle sector, the diversification and innovation of battery technology continues to drive improvements in EV performance. However, the voltage ranges of different battery types, such as traditional lead-acid batteries and emerging lithium-ion or sodium-ion batteries, vary significantly, posing challenges to EV compatibility and performance optimization. In particular, EV controllers typically rely on battery voltage monitoring for undervoltage protection. This design works well with a single battery type, but is inflexible when faced with a diverse range of battery options.
[0003] Existing electric vehicle controller designs are often fixed to the voltage range of a specific battery type. This means that when changing battery types, the controller's undervoltage protection mechanism must be readjusted or even the entire controller replaced. This not only increases maintenance costs but also limits the flexibility of battery replacement. For example, when a user wants to upgrade from a traditional lead-acid battery system to a higher energy density sodium-ion battery system, the controller's voltage detection and protection mechanisms often cannot adapt to the new voltage operating range, resulting in reduced system stability. In particular, as sodium-ion batteries have gained popularity due to their superior low-temperature performance, more and more electric vehicles are beginning to adopt sodium-ion batteries, but the limitations of traditional controllers have become a major obstacle to this transition.
