MODULAR APPROACH FOR ADVANCED BATTERY MODULES HAVING DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

Present embodiments include a series of lithium battery modules (28A-28C) having a plurality of electrochemical cells having different electrical characteristics such as voltages and/or capacities. The battery modules are each constructed using components, architectures, production methods, among other things, in common with each other. The lithium ion battery modules may include a first battery module type having a first capacity and a first voltage, a second battery module type having a second capacity and a second voltage, and, in some embodiments, additional battery module types having different voltages and/or capacities. The lithium ion battery modules may all have the same footprint (42).
