Typical accuracies for the battery pack current of an electric vehicle are 0.5%–1.0% up to 450 A, 1–2 mV for the cell voltages, and 0.1% for battery pack voltage up to 600 V (Brandl et al. 2012). Depending on the application and battery chemistry type, however, the required accuracy can be higher or lower. For instance, the lithium-ion

6 FAQs about [The impact of battery cell fire on battery pack]

What causes a fire in a battery pack?

The flame at this stage may mainly consist of the jet fire of the battery pack. Such a jet fire was transferred from the large-scale violent energetic injection and explosion of LIBs . Nevertheless, with the reduction of LIB energy, the flame shrank out of sight after 11 s.

What happens when a battery pack is burned?

Along with the combustion of the battery pack, flames and fire effluents erupting from the battery pack entered the passenger compartment and continuously heated the seat cushion, car mat and interior panel. Then the flame spread from the battery pack to the interior of the EV. A flowchart about the fire spread process is shown in Fig. 9.

Do lithium-ion batteries spread a fire?

What happens if a battery catches fire?

Once a battery catches fire, it will release enough heat to cause fire to the adjacent cell, and the fire behavior of the LIBs pack must be different from a single cell. At the same time, if the LIBs pack is exposed to different thermal radiation, the fire behavior will also be different.

How long does a lithium ion battery pack fire spread?

As shown in this figure, the lithium-ion battery pack fire spreads to the battery pack above the Z-axis at 19 s and to the battery pack below the Z-axis at 48 s, respectively. The battery packs on both sides of the X-axis have the same distance, and the fire spread time difference is small.

What happens if a battery pack is triggered into tr?

The battery packs used in EVs consist of a large number of single cells that are connected in series and parallel modes. If a cell in the battery pack is triggered into TR, it may result in a severe EV fire or an explosion accident. The unpredictable working environment of EVs also increases the fire risk and hazard .
