A fluid drainage arrangement for a battery arrangement, the fluid drainage arrangement having a fluid inlet, a collecting chamber, a membrane, a labyrinth chamber and a fluid outlet. The membrane is provided between the collecting chamber and the labyrinth chamber and has a closed state (Z1) and an open state (Z2). The membrane is designed, in the closed state (Z1), to collect a coolant, which passes into the collecting chamber via the fluid inlet, in the collecting chamber until the membrane, at a predetermined first differential pressure between a side of the membrane that is assigned to the collecting chamber and a side of the membrane that is assigned to the labyrinth chamber, transitions from the closed state (Z1) into the open state (Z2) and allows drainage of the coolant via the labyrinth chamber to the fluid outlet.

The present disclosure relates to a battery module including at least one battery unit array structure, an upper cover, a lower cover and a fireproof component disposed vertically. Each battery unit array structure includes a plurality of battery units and a plurality of busbars electrically connected to the plurality of battery units. The battery unit array structure is disposed between the upper cover and the lower cover. Each battery unit of each battery unit array structure is provided with a vent facing towards the fireproof component. Different from the related art, when thermal runaway occurs in a battery unit according to the present disclosure, flame and high-temperature particles ejected from a vent of a battery unit are blocked by the fireproof component from burning adjacent battery units, thereby preventing the thermal runaway in the other battery units from being triggered by the existing thermal runaway.

A battery pack exhaust duct includes a guide tube, an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, and exhaust guide components. The exhaust guide components include first and second exhaust guide components. Each of the exhaust guide components has a first part and a second part. The first part has a first end that is nearer to the interior surface of the guide tube. The first part extends away from the interior surface, and toward the exhaust inlet. The second part has a first end that is nearer to the first part. The second part extends toward the interior surface. The second part has a second end that is apart from the interior surface. The second end of the second part of the first exhaust guide component and the second end of the second part of the second exhaust guide component are displaced along axis X along which the guide tube extends.

A shutdown method applicable to a terminal having a rechargeable battery, the method includes: determining a first impedance and a second impedance of the rechargeable battery, wherein the first impedance is an impedance determined based on a current temperature of the rechargeable battery, and the second impedance is an impedance determined based on a current number of charge times of the rechargeable battery; determining a target impedance as a larger impedance value from the first impedance and the second impedance; determining a shutdown voltage of the terminal based on a preset open circuit voltage of the rechargeable battery, the target impedance and a current operating current of a charging circuit; and controlling the terminal to shut down, when an operating voltage of the rechargeable battery is decreased to the shutdown voltage.

An air displacer for a traction battery of a motor vehicle is configured such that, in the installed state in a battery housing of the traction battery, it at least partially fills a free volume in the battery housing and thereby at least partially displaces air in the battery housing in the event of heat generation inside the housing. The air displacer includes a vacuum bag; a foam that can be expanded using air, which is arranged in the vacuum bag; and a manually opening air inlet point. The air displacer can be transferred from an initial state in which the vacuum bag is evacuated in the closed state of the air inlet point and the foam in the vacuum bag is compressed, into an end state provided for the installed state in which air flows through the vacuum bag by manually opening the air inlet point and the foam is thereby expanded.

A battery cell assembly includes a frame and multiple battery cells which are held in cell-individual recesses of the frame so as to be aligned parallel to one another. A respective gap filler is arranged between lateral surfaces of the battery cells and the recess inner faces facing the lateral surfaces, said gap filler connecting the battery cells and the frame together. The frame is made of a solid, dimensionally stable, and thermally conductive material, and the gap filler is made of a permanently deformable thermally conductive material. Furthermore, the inner faces of the recesses extend in the vertical direction of the battery cells over the entire length thereof.

An electric energy storage system for a vehicle, comprising a battery unit, a easing enclosing the battery unit, a cooling system comprising at least one coolant conduit arranged for cooling of the at least one battery tint during normal operation of the energy storage system by circulating coolant fluid through the at least one, coolant conduit, a means for detecting a thermal runaway within the electric energy storage system, a valve arrangement being configured to respond to the detection of a thermal runaway by releasing coolant fluid from the cooling system into the casing, foam-forming substance being configured to produce a foam when coming into contact with the coolant fluid and/or when the coolant fluid is released into the casing.
