Battery thermal management refers to methods used to control battery temperature during charging, discharging, and operation.
Expanded Explanation
Battery performance and safety are highly dependent on temperature. Thermal management systems help keep batteries within safe operating limits by dissipating heat or insulating against extreme environments. Approaches may include passive cooling, heat sinks, airflow design, or active thermal controls. Effective thermal management reduces degradation and minimizes safety risks.
Why it matters
Excessive heat accelerates aging and increases the risk of battery failure.
iTECH Context
iTECH evaluates thermal behavior as part of battery system design and validation.
