By adding heating, both lifetime and efficiency will increase
When temperatures fall below -20°C in some situations, the chemical reactions will happen so slowly and generate so little power that the battery will appear to be dead when, in fact, if it is warmed up, it will return to normal output. The battery’s charging rate is affected by temperature and, by heating the battery, both lifetime and efficiency can be increased.
Advantages:
- Increased lifetime
- Increased capacity
- Faster charging time
- Reliability
Etched foil heaters placed between the battery cells
Customized heating elements
Flexible, lightweight and space-saving
Flexible heating elements, or foil elements, offer many advantages in addition to the fact that the material is flexible. Examples include the ability to have multiple circuits or multiple voltages in the same element, or the ease of locating a sensor.
Foil elements are a space-saving, efficient alternative to applications where precise heat and the maintenance of an exact temperature are important. They are supplied in various materials such polyimide, polyester, silicone, PTC and mica.
Applications
Internal heating of batteries
