What is a battery pack?
There are many reasons why a battery pack is often the ideal solution to your power requirements:
- It offers higher voltages and capacities
- In a convenient integrated unit
- With additional electronics for control, safety and indication built-in
- Fitting neatly into the cavity within the product
- Fully compatible with the product and charger
- Potentially an integral part of the product styling
- Safety–sealed packs help prevent abuse and ensure only approved batteries & chargers are used
- The design can be optimised for cost by minimising material usage
- The battery becomes one component. There is less to manage
- Captive aftermarket – ensuring the highest levels of ongoing support and a profit opportunity.
What to consider
There are many reasons why a battery pack is often the ideal solution to your power requirements: Designing and manufacturing a cost-effective battery pack solution offering optimum performance is not as easy as you might think.
It is often the case that the power source is considered at the end of the design stage of the appliance itself. However, there are many benefits to considering battery requirements as early as possible.
The engineering task must include consideration of:
- Electrical Specifications
- Mechanical Specifications
- Environmental Conditions
- Approvals and Certification
Electrical Specifications include: voltage, discharge currents, discharge profile (continuous, pulsed,..) , discharge durations, design life, proposed charging method, safety and gas gauge circuits or devices, connection requirements, charger specification.
Mechanical Specifications include: size, shape, appliance compatibility, catches & fasteners, case material, connection configuration, shock, vibration, marking & labelling.
Environmental Conditions include: temperature range, humidity, sealing and IP levels.
Approvals and Certification include: CE marking, military standards, UN transportation testing (lithium chemistries only), safety testing (Baseefa, ExE, UL, ATEX).
