Mechanical integrity of 18650 lithium-ion battery module: Packing density and packing mode

The crash safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has recently become a hot research topic because of the wide application of LIBs in vehicle. This paper investigates how packing design of battery cells influence the energy density (volume specific) and structural of LIB pack. Firstly, three packing geometrical parameters (one packing angle parameter and two cell number parameters) are extracted to describe the packing modes, packing density and...
