[PSES] Discovery warns of catastrophic failure of lithium-ion batteries : Johns Hopkins University – The Gazette

2012-01-17 Thread Doug Powell
This discovery has a lot of potential. A self-monitoring battery could easily signal for help or open an interlock. If caught early enough, a thermal runaway might be averted. This could be especially important on large devices like electric vehicles or charge controllers.

At first glance, I would guess that this is intended to cover the DC-DC converter that an EV would need to provide power to electrical systems such as headlights, turn signals, heater fan, etc. I'm puzzled by the rating in the scope of up to 250Vac at 50/60Hz though. Scott Aldous Compliance

Scott, What is one of the key concepts you keep hearing about electric vehicles and when they are plugged in to the grid for re-charging? That is returning power to the grid when the grid needs it and the car is already charged (taking power from the battery and sending it off to the grid).

I haven't worked with those batteries since 2005, but back then, they, the batteries for cars, were very intensely monitored and controlled as part of the package that held batteries and control circuits.  Cost reductions since then could have removed a bunch of circuits.
