Technical FAQs 4

What is a battery enclosure made of?

The most common battery enclosures are made from plastic materials that are resistant to alkaline solutions and have a high impact strength. Metal housings are sometimes used, but metal requires careful design and assembly to avoid shorting of the cells in the battery pack.

What material should a battery case be made of?

These are also under development. Glass fibre top covers, bottom covers and impact protection plates can provide a more cost-effective material for battery cases. The most challenging factor is TRP, as the combustion needs to be contained in the box.

What materials are used to make EV batteries?

One plug-in hybrid EV built in China is already using a thermoplastic polypropylene compound instead of aluminium for its battery case cover, providing savings in weight. Other EVs now in production around world are using several thermoplastic materials for components such as cell carriers and housings, battery modules and battery enclosures.

What material should a battery box be made of?

In most cases, you will find aluminum and stainless steel battery cabinets. Of course, we have galvanized steel, plastic, and composite materials. A good material for the battery box should be: So far, aluminum and stainless steel guarantee better performance. Apart from these 4, you may classify battery box enclosures depending on:
