How to Build a Lithium Ion Battery Pack: Expert Guide for Engineers
Volume comparison shows 24cm³ for the 21700 versus 16cm³ for the 18650, enabling nearly double the capacity. Tesla characterizes their 21700 as “the highest energy
The internal resistance of a battery cell can have a significant impact on the performance of an entire battery pack in an electric vehicle (EV). When the internal resistance of a battery cell is high, it can lead to a decrease in the overall capacity of the battery pack, as well as a decrease in the efficiency of the pack.
If the internal resistance of the battery cell is not provided by the manufacturer, as we'll see in this article, using the discharge characteristics of the battery cell, we can calculate the internal resistance of the battery cell, for a specific state of charge value.
The enclosure design determines the physical protection and environmental performance of lithium ion battery packs. Housing selection directly influences thermal management, mechanical durability, and regulatory compliance across different operating conditions.
We aim to calculate the internal resistance of the cell at approximatively 47 % state of charge (SoC). Step 1. Calculate the discharge capacity of the battery cell for 47 % SoC. Since the nominal capacity of the battery cell is 3200 mA, which corresponds to 100% SoC, at 47% SoC, the battery cell capacity would be: 0.47 · 3200 = 1504 mAh ≅ 1500 mAh
