Disclosed herein are a battery cell housing, a battery cell, a battery, and an electric device. The battery cell housing defines a cavity configured to accommodate an electrode assembly, and the battery cell housing includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing is electrically connected to a first tab of the electrode assembly. The second housing is fixed to the first housing in an insulated manner. The second housing is electrically connected to a second tab of the electrode assembly and the second tab is different from the first tab in polarity. The first housing includes a bulge electrically connected to the first tab, and the bulge extends in a direction approaching the second housing. Therefore, there is no need to provide a hole in the battery cell housing, thereby rendering the battery cell housing more integral.

A hybrid material housing for a battery is provided for reducing or minimizing thermal runaway propagation. The housing includes a composite structure that contains the battery and optionally includes a polymeric matrix selected from the group consisting of: epoxy, phenolic resin, polyester, vinyl ester, and combinations thereof and a reinforcing material selected from the group consisting of: glass fibers, carbon fibers, basalt fibers, aromatic polyamide KEVLAR® fibers, and combinations thereof. A metal layer is disposed along an exterior surface of the composite structure that comprises aluminum, steel, stainless steel, alloys, and combinations thereof. In a first mode, the metal layer contacts the composite structure and in a second mode after exposure to a thermal load of greater than or equal to about 500° C., the metal layer at least partially delaminates from the exterior surface and forms insulating air gaps to define a thermal barrier. Methods of forming the hybrid material housings are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to a battery pack and an apparatus using the battery pack as a power supply, and relates to the technical field of batteries, to optimize performance of the battery pack. The battery pack includes a box body, a battery module, a module electrical connection piece, and a first protecting assembly. The battery module is mounted in the box body, and the battery module includes an anti-explosion assembly. The module electrical connection piece is mounted on the battery module. The first protecting assembly is mounted in the box body and is configured to protect the module electrical connection piece when an ejecta discharged from the anti-explosion assembly impacts the module electrical connection piece. The above technical scheme reduces probability of secondary short circuit of the battery pack.

Lithium electrochemical accumulator including at least one first package housing at least one electrochemical cell, said first package including at least: one internal thermally insulating layer suitable for confining, to the interior of a first package, the heat given off even in case of abnormal operation of a cell C and for protecting the cell(s) from heat generated outside the first package; one external layer superposed on the internal layer, the external layer being mechanically strong and fire resistant; and one cooling device including at least one heat pipe the enclosure of which passes through the first package(s) in a seal-tight manner and such that the heated zone of the heat pipe(s) is located inside the first package(s) and that the cooled zone of the heat pipe(s) is located outside the first package(s).

The present application provides a battery pack. The battery pack comprises a case, a cavity structure being provided in the bottom of the case; and a plurality of battery cells, the plurality of battery cells being stacked at the bottom of the case, and an end surface, facing the bottom of the case, of each of the battery cells being provided with an explosion-proof valve, wherein a structural layer, facing the explosion-proof valve, of the bottom of the case is provided with a weak area, and gas in the battery cell during thermal runaway of any battery cell may be collected via the weak area into the cavity structure and then is discharged.

A battery cell interface material provides multiple types of protection between adjacent cells of an electric vehicle battery pack is provided. The interface material is an integral wall assembly having the following: a middle wall constructed of one of interlaced multifilament flame-resistant yarn or a non-woven material, the middle wall having opposite sides. A pair of intermediate layers, with each intermediate layer being bonded to a separate one of the opposite sides of the middle wall. A pair of outer layers, with each outer layer being bonded to a separate one of the pair of intermediate layers, such that each intermediate layer is sandwiched between one of the pair of outer layers and the textile middle wall, with each outer layer facing a cell wall of the electric vehicle battery being configured to be bonded directly to the cell wall.

Provided are a secondary battery, a battery module, and a battery pack, which have improved safety. Particularly, since a bulletproof material is disposed on the inside and/or the outside of an exterior part, even when a conductive needle-shaped member penetrates a secondary battery, heating, burning, discharge of evaporated electrolyte, and electrical contact between the needle-shaped member and an electrode can be prevented, thereby improving safety of the secondary battery, the battery module, and the battery pack.

A battery system includes one or more shear walls to provide support. A shear wall may include a support structure and conductive traces to route signals or measurements without the need for wire runs. The support structure may help to maintain the arrangement of battery cells of the battery system, while the conductive traces allow voltages among the battery cells to be monitored. Busbars, or other electrical terminals, may be coupled to the conductive traces of the shear wall, and processing equipment may also be coupled to the conductive traces. Accordingly, the processing equipment may monitor voltage among the battery cells, which may allow balancing among battery modules, diagnostics, and other functions. The shear wall may be constructed of FR-4 or other circuit board material, and the conductive traces may include bonded copper, or other electronically conductive material.

The present disclosure relates to a modular battery system for use in a variety of motive and non-motive applications. The modular battery system further includes at least one module which is configured and dimensioned for receipt of at least one cell. The at least one cell includes a battery cell for providing energy and a supplementary cell for providing ancillary benefits. One aspect of the disclosure incorporates use of supplementary cells in modules for the purposes of adjusting capacity or voltage, while maintaining the desired weight.
