Pre-Charge Circuits for Lithium-Ion Battery Packs
Pre-charge circuits are an important safety and functional feature for high voltage battery packs. Why is this, and how do these circuits work? In this video, Erik Stafl, President of Stafl Systems, describes the use of pre-charge circuits in high-voltage battery system design.
Pre-charge circuits are used because the power source connected to the battery has a high capacitance. If we did not have a pre-charge circuit, there would be a very large inrush current - upwards of thousands of amps - that can weld contactors shut. We want to avoid this inrush current.
If you are new to battery pack architecture and design, we encourage you to view our previous videos prior to watching this video. ...

Disconnect Switches for Lithium Ion Battery Packs
Просмотров 16 тыс.Год назад
Every battery pack consists of a group of cells, a battery management system (BMS) and a disconnect switch. What is the purpose of the disconnect switch? How do they work, and what types of disconnect switches are best for a given pack? Where do these go in the system? Understanding these fundamental disconnect methods are critical for battery pack safety. In this video, Erik Stafl, President o...

Topics Covered Safe Operating Envelope Discharge Cycles Maximum Charge Max...
Calculating the State of Health for a Lithium Ion Battery System
Просмотров 73 тыс.3 года назад
A battery's State of Health is critical to understanding how a battery degrades as it is charged and discharged over time. This degradation is caused by the increasing impedance of the cells. This video explains how this is calculated and some easier ways to understand how a Battery Management System monitors and reports this information. Topics Covered State of Health Discharge Cycles State of...
Calculating the State of Charge of a Lithium Ion Battery System using a Battery Management System
Просмотров 187 тыс.3 года назад
The State of Charge (SOC) is like the fuel gauge in your car, telling you how much energy is left in your battery system. Calculating the State of Charge in a lithium-ion battery system requires an understanding of how the battery pack capacity and energy change. This understanding is critical before diving deeper into Coulomb counting. Topics Covered State of Charge State of Charge (Capacity) ...

    6:00 Optoisolators are your friend for this application. Usually use a combination of 3 types of switches for HV Li battery arrays, a single use fuse for safety, a Mosfet for soft disconnect, and a heavy duty relay for enable and disable main power to subsystems. ❤

    Very good content and in depth coverage of the subject, you have been able to condensed so much information in just in eight minutes. I have been watching so many videos on RUclips where the creators will produce hour length videos but are unable to convey so much knowledge in so little time. Keep it up, wished this would kind of become a guideline for posting content on RUclips.

  • @u3b93

    Hi Erik, I am going through all your videos, as you have produced some very good content. But there is one statement you made in this video regarding the pouch cells which is in line is what I can find generally on the internet, that this particular form factor will expand and contract that requires special attention as well as kind of disadvantage it with respect to the 2 other form factors. But does the materials in the cylindrical and prismatic cells also do not face the same constraints? How do these 2 other form factors mitigate the growth in size while charging and contraction while discharging? Wish you were posting more content on RUclips. Thanks for the great work.
