System for controlling battery temperature

Abstract

A system for controlling battery temperature may comprise a battery module 21 and a charging device 31. The battery module may comprise a battery comprising electrochemical cells 23 and a first heat exchanger 22 with an endpiece 25 connected to one or more plates 24 where each plate is in thermal communication with a face of the cells. The charging device may comprise a second heat exchanger 32 with a thermal body 33 in thermal communication with a heat source / heat sink 36. The charging device may be connected to the battery module so that the end piece of the module is in thermal communication with the thermal body of the charging device. A method of use may comprise transferring thermal energy between the endpiece of the battery module and the thermal body of the battery to control the temperature of the battery. [Fig. 2]
