SYSTEM TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF A LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION) BATTERY PACK

摘要

A battery pack (12) includes one or more electrical battery cells (18). A battery management system (20) includes at least one electronic processor (24) configured to monitor parameters of the battery pack. At least one fault detection sensor includes at least one of: at least one gas sensor (36) configured to measure a gas evolving from the plurality of electrical battery cells; and a shock sensor (30) configured to measure an impact on the battery pack. A housing (16) encloses the plurality of electrical battery cells, the battery management system, and the at least one fault detection sensor. The battery management system is configured to perform a remediation action responsive to detection of a fault by the at least one fault detection sensor.
