The concept <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to our passion for analyzing existing vehicles in our lightweight garage, we also get creative ourselves to create new lightweight concepts. Together with our partners, the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland, Litewerks and the Koller Group, we have developed a modular lightweight starter battery to replace conventional, heavy lead batteries. The starting point is the technology switch to lithium iron phosphate, as the stable voltage plateau above the capacity enables efficient use. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The idea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The housing was further designed on the basis of lithium iron phosphate round cells, which are held at the rigid end points in the cell holder. This mounting enables the cell surface to be cooled. The cells are arranged pack-tight in the cell holder and cut-outs provide installation space for cable routing, battery control and other components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cell holders support the housing and thus reduce the required wall thickness, as forces can be transferred more ideally. The prismatic shape of the housing also increases the inherent rigidity. In an application with parallel housings, the slopes allow the batteries to slide against each other and thus reduce the crash load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
