10:00 AM Achieving safe, high performing and high power li-ion battery designs
• Safe means passively propagation resistant to any single cell thermal runaway event with no
flames exiting the battery enclosure
• High performing means > 160 Wh/kg at the battery brick level
• High power means capable of 3C (20 min) continuous discharge rate
• All while using commercial 18650 cell designs capable of 225 Wh/kg at 3C
• Designs maintains low thermal gradients from cell-to-cell and achieves efficient thermal
dissipation through the use of oscillating heat pipe heat sink technology
