Which materials are best for packaging lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles?

Polycarbonate-based materials have proven track record as a solution for packaging lithium-ion cells for batteries in electric vehicles. Covestro materials provide unmatched dimensional stability and durability over a wide temperature range.

What Li-ion battery packaging materials does Targray offer?

Targray supplies customizable Lithium-ion Battery packaging materials for the 3 primary geometric battery configurations - cylindrical, prismatic and pouch cell. Our li-ion cell packaging solutions include high-performance tabs, tapes (films), cases, cans and lids.

What makes a good battery packaging?

Ideal battery packaging should be as compact as possible and contribute to the safe, long-term operation of the electric vehicle. Minimal packaging with maximum performance requires designs that integrate parts and functions with materials that are versatile and tough.

What are the different types of battery packaging?

Our solutions include cans, cases, lids, tabs, rolls, and laminated films (aluminum – and polypropylene-based). The cylindrical cell continues to be one of the most widely used packaging styles for primary and secondary batteries. The advantages to using this cell format are manufacturing convenience and mechanical stability.

How are lithium ion batteries packaged?

Each battery or cell must be entirely enclosed to prevent contact with other equipment or any conductive materials. The inner packaging containing lithium ion batteries can be placed in containers crafted from various materials, including metal, wood, fiberboard, or solid plastic jerrycans.

What packaging technologies are used in lithium-ion batteries?

With the widespread deployment of Lithium-ion batteries to power numerous applications over the course of the last decade, three primary packaging technologies have evolved as the most prevalent in the Lithium-ion battery industry: Cylindrical, Prismatic, and Pouch-based.
