A battery temperature adjusting device for a vehicle on which a battery is mounted, the battery being a lithium ion battery disposed near a powertrain unit inside an engine bay, is provided. The device includes a first air duct provided to an intake passage configured to lead intake air to a combustion chamber of an engine, a second air duct provided to the intake passage and provided with an intake opening that opens toward a space between the powertrain unit and the battery, an intake-air-amount adjusting part, and a controller configured to acquire an ambient temperature of the powertrain unit. The controller increases a ratio of the second intake air amount relative to the sum of the first intake air amount and the second intake air amount, when the ambient temperature exceeds a first threshold temperature, compared with when the ambient temperature is below the first threshold temperature.

Methods for thermally regulating batteries of aircraft are provided. The aircraft comprises: an air inlet; an air outlet; a battery pack comprising battery cells; and an air channel in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet, a surface of the air channel being in thermal communication with the battery cells whereby air flowing through the air channel exchanges heat with the battery cells through the surface of the air channel. The methods comprise: connecting an external supply of air to the air inlet of the aircraft; and delivering a flow of air through the air channel using the external supply of air. A kit comprising the aircraft and the external supply of air is also provided.

Aircraft with battery thermal regulation systems, including: an aircraft air inlet and an aircraft air outlet; a battery pack including battery cells; and a battery thermal regulation system including a first air channel, a surface of which is in thermal communication with the battery cells so that air flowing through the first air channel exchanges heat with the cells through the surface; and an airflow device for driving an airflow. The battery thermal regulation system has a first and a second mode operation. In the first mode, the first air channel is fluidly connected with the aircraft air inlet and the aircraft air outlet whereby, during flight of the aircraft, air can enter the aircraft through the air inlet, flow through the first air channel and exit the aircraft through the air outlet. In the second mode, the airflow device drives an airflow through the first air channel.

A vehicle battery cooling system includes a battery temperature sensor, a vehicle cabin temperature sensor, a discharge path via which a vehicle cabin, a battery chamber, and outside of a vehicle communicate with each other, a circulation path that circulates air between the vehicle cabin and the battery chamber, a switching unit that switches between the discharge path and the circulation path, and a controller. When a pressurization condition is satisfied, the controller operates the switching unit to select one of the discharge path and the circulation path based on measurement results of the battery temperature sensor and the vehicle cabin temperature sensor. The pressurization condition includes a condition that an air pressure in the vehicle cabin is higher than atmospheric pressure. When temperature of a battery is in a low cooling range and is higher than temperature in the vehicle cabin, the controller selects the discharge path.
