Systems and methods for storing energy for use by an electric vehicle are disclosed. Systems can include an electric vehicle battery pack including a rack configured to couple a plurality of independently removable battery strings to the vehicle, the battery strings configured to be selectively coupled in parallel to a vehicle power bus. The battery strings may include a housing, a plurality of electrochemical cells disposed within the housing, a circuit for electrically connecting the electrochemical cells, a positive high-voltage connector, a negative high-voltage connector, a switch within the housing, and a string control unit configured to control the switch. Each battery string can include a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet configured to couple with and sealingly uncouple from an external coolant supply conduit and an external coolant return conduit, and an auxiliary connector configured to couple with an external communications system and/or an external low-voltage power supply.

A UV curable dielectric coating is described. The curable coating can include one of more acrylate monomers, a urethane prepolymer, a crosslinker, at least one adhesion promoter, a photoinitiator, and optionally one or more fillers and/or additives. The coating can be used to insulate battery cells and battery packs, such as those used in electric vehicles. The coatings can be easily applied and quickly cured. The cured coatings can have high adhesion strength, even after exposure to wet conditions.

A battery cassette is disclosed. The battery cassette may include a frame including one or more hollow tubes. The battery cassette may further include a seal component having one or more hollow tubes aligned with the hollow tubes of the frame. The frame and the seal component may be configured to receive one or more battery cells in the hollow tubes.

A method for producing a battery module for a traction battery of an electrically operable motor vehicle includes providing battery cells, providing a holding device for the battery cells, which has receiving chambers for the battery cells, at least partially coating an outer side of the battery cells and/or an inner side of the receiving chambers with a microencapsulated adhesive, and inserting the battery cells into the receiving chambers, wherein the insertion movement causes a force to be exerted on the microencapsulated adhesive, by way of which force the microencapsulated adhesive is activated and cured to fix the battery cells in the receiving chambers.

An HMD includes first and second batteries mounted therein, and includes a plurality of power receivers that receive power from the first and second batteries by wireless transmission, a power supply manager that monitors states of the first and second batteries, a communication interface that performs wireless communication with the first and second batteries, and a plurality of limiters that limit the power received by the plurality of power receivers. A controller causes the limiters to limit power, which is supplied to a load, according to a power use state of the load in the device, and the power supply manager acquires information of remaining power storage amounts of the first and second batteries through the communication interface and displays the acquired information on a display. Therefore, since it is possible to supply power required for driving the device while wearing the HMD, the HMD can be continuously used.

A rack type power source device includes a plurality of battery packs, a rack to house the plurality of battery packs being arranged, and a connector plate fixed to the rack at a far side in a direction in which the battery packs are inserted into the rack. The connector plate is provided with a plurality of connectors designed to be electrically connected to terminals of the plurality of battery packs. The connector plate includes a side wall that constitutes a part of a first-side wall of the rack, and a connector mount wall disposed at an inner position in the rack so as to form a depth difference from the side wall. The connector mount wall is provided with the plurality of connectors arranged corresponding to the battery packs housed in the rack.

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.

The invention relates to a compartment for equipment likely to emit heat during its operation, in particular for a device for storing electrical energy for a motor vehicle, said compartment having at least one cooling plate arranged to have a cooling fluid flowing through it and arranged to cool said equipment. The compartment further includes an upper housing arranged to accommodate said electrical equipment, and a lower housing, in which at least one fluid connection element is placed in order to supply the cooling plate with fluid, the lower and upper housing being isolated from each other in a fluidly sealed manner.
