Investigation of Mechanical Integrity of Prismatic Lithium-Ion Batteries With Various State of Charge

The crush safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has recently become one of the hottest topics as the electric vehicle (EV) market is growing rapidly. In this study, mechanical properties of prismatic lithium-ion batteries under compression loading are investigated. Batteries with different values of state of charge (SOC) under different loading directions are compared. Results show LIB cells with different SOCs under same loading direction...
