AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing NTC acquisition designs for lithium-ion batteries cannot effectively monitor both the highest and lowest temperatures during the heating and cooling processes simultaneously, posing a safety risk.

Method used

A dual-layer NTC design is adopted, with the NTC layer located at both ends of the battery cell module. The lower NTC layer monitors the temperature on the bottom of the battery cell, while the upper NTC layer monitors the temperature on the top of the battery cell. The two layers are fixedly connected by a buffer foam structure, enabling real-time monitoring of the entire temperature range.

Benefits of technology

Under different operating conditions, the dual-layer NTC can monitor the highest and lowest temperatures of the battery cell in real time, reducing the safety risks of overheating during high-temperature charging and discharging and lithium plating during low-temperature high-current charging, thereby improving the safety of the battery system.
