How are batteries used in electric vehicles?
How are batteries used in electric cars that are more environmentally friendly than internal combustion vehicles and how are these batteries arranged?
One of the most interesting subjects of recent times is electric vehicle technology. Electric vehicles expected to dethrone fuel vehicles are shown as more environmentally friendly.
So let's take a quick look at what kind of batteries are used in these vehicles and how they are mounted in the car.
First, the batteries used in electric vehicles must be rechargeable.
Batteries are generally divided into non-rechargeable and rechargeable batteries.
Disposable batteries are listed as follows:
Zinc-carbon battery
Zinc chloride
Alkaline battery
Silver-oxide battery
Lithium battery
Zinc-air battery
Thermal (thermal) battery
Reusable batteries that can be used are:
Lead-acid battery
Lithium-ion battery
Lithium-ion polymer battery
Sodium-sulfur (NaS) battery
Nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery
Nickel-cadmium battery
Lithium-ion batteries are the most preferred
Pb-acid (Lead-Acid), NiCd (Nickel Cadmium), NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydrate) and Li-ion (Lithium Ion) are commonly used in electric vehicles.
Compared to other battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries are preferred because they have significant advantages such as high rated voltage, high energy density, long life and no memory effect.
How big are these batteries and how are they installed in the vehicle?
Why does the battery consist of cells?
The answer is actually very simple. The cell model is used to dissipate heat and pressure, to prevent possible energy loss and damage to batteries. This system distributes the temperature condensations evenly to the cells, providing more battery charge and discharge cycles, increasing the life of the batteries.
At the same time, the center of gravity of the batteries in the middle of the car and the lower center of gravity is lower, which significantly increases the stability of the vehicle driving. Apart from this, it is an important advantage that the batteries can be easily inserted and removed, and thus easily replaced.
