Energy store unit e.g. lithium-ion battery for storing electrical power in electrically driven vehicle, has indicator surface optically observable from outside and changing optical characteristic depending on temperature of storage unit
Energy store unit e.g. lithium-ion battery for storing electrical power in electrically driven vehicle, has indicator surface optically observable from outside and changing optical characteristic depending on temperature of storage unit
The store unit i.e. battery (1), has an indicator surface (7) optically observable from outside at side surfaces of a cuboid body (3). The indicator surface changes optical characteristic depending on temperature of the storage unit without supply of electrical power, and comprises a layer formed from a thermo chromic material and a material with temperature-dependant phosphorescence. The indicator surface comprises multiple indicator patches arranged in one-dimension or two dimensions, where the patches are simultaneously monitored by a monitoring device. An independent claim is also included for a method for monitoring an energy storage unit.
