Battery cabinet end plate material

What materials are used for battery end plates?

For battery end plates—positioned at either end of a battery module to compress and hold in place a stack of battery cells—Asahi Kasei recommends our LEONA™ SN series of resin grades. These materials offer good moldability, feature high strength, high rigidity, good electrical properties (CTI), and good heat resistance.

What are EV battery end plates?

This includes pure plastic and plastic-metal hybrid end plates, mechanisms contained in each battery cell that ensure cell compression and address cell-swelling requirements, to optimize EV battery packs.

Which material is best for a battery case?

Glass fibre top covers, bottom covers and impact protection plates can provide a more cost-effective material for battery cases. The most challenging factor is TRP, as the combustion needs to be contained in the box. Then there are EMI, thermal and electrical isolation and mechanical issues of drive loads, crashes and impacts to consider.

Why should you choose SABIC battery endplates?

Apart from the structural advantages SABIC’s battery endplate materials create, the lighter design can potentially contribute to increases in the range of the vehicle and reduction of CO2 emissions.

What materials are used to make battery cases in electric vehicles?

Battery cases in electric vehicles are typically made from metals such as steel or aluminum. The goal of reducing component weight to extend vehicle travel distance suggests the possibility of switching to resin materials, but typical resins cannot offer the required thermal resistance; also, cost reduction is a perennial issue. 1．

How to choose the right EV battery material?

The complete EV battery system and vehicle structure has to be taken into account to identify the right material in the right place, For the case, that means using the properties and strengths of thermoplastics to improve performance, reduce costs and weight, and support mass production.
