Energy storage battery box sealing

Why do batteries need to be sealed?

The sealing components used also have to be chemically stable toward organic electrolytes. In addition, during the battery’s entire service life, the sealing mater-ial must not leach out contaminating substances into the battery electrolyte as this could have a long-term negative influence on the cells’ electrochemistry.

What is battery pack perimeter sealing?

Battery pack perimeter sealing applications are just one element in a wider group of advanced materials, such as adhesives, thermal interface materials, and battery safety materials that work in concert to shield and protect the entire symphony of vital EV components.

Why do EV batteries need to be sealed?

Effective battery sealing is the foundation for best-in-class battery performance. Without a reliable seal, all of the technology and range advancements a manufacturer can marshal will ultimately fail. Henkel has the practical know-how and the capable portfolio to help make the next generation of EV batteries succeed.

What is a sealed battery box?

The design of the sealed box focuses on the flow of battery cooling airflow, and any leakage must be avoided to ensure consistent performance. To achieve this, the upper cover and the lower bottom of the battery box must be free from any perforations or gaps, and a gasket should be added between them during assembly.

What is a battery pack seal?

While thermal and electrically conductive materials often get the limelight, battery pack seals do the heavy work of protecting the battery components from intrusion by moisture, dust, and other debris.

Why does a battery box need a seal?

A durable seal around the battery case allows a modular design, where individual cells can be replaced if required. This is critical for the economic feasibility of these power units. What does a battery box do? Carbon composite battery case with cooling ducts © Martins Rubber/ DASIS Partners
