Abstract
The prediction of thermal behavior is essential for an efficient initial design of thermal management systems which equip energy sources based on electrochemical cells. In this study, the surface temperature of various cylindrical types of Li-ion batteries is monitored at multiple points during discharge. Three different battery chemistries and two sizes (18650 and 21700) are considered in this study, allowing the comparison of the influence these parameters have on the temperature rise considering different discharge rates (1C, 2C and 3C). Based on repeated experimental measurements, a simple equation that describes the thermal behavior of batteries is proposed and further used to create 3D thermal maps for each analyzed battery (generally error is below 1 °C but never exceeds 3 °C). The practical utility of such an equation is that it can drastically reduce the time spent with experimental measurements required to characterize the thermal behavior of cylindrical Li-ion batteries, necessary for the initial design process of energy sources’ thermal management system.
