BATTERY PACK WITH EMBEDDED HEATERS

摘要

A heat battery pack system includes a battery pack including a plurality of battery cells electrically interconnected to each other, a binding coupled to mechanically hold the battery cells physically together, and a heater system coupled to the battery pack to heat the battery cells. The heater system includes a heating element interweaved between the battery cells of the battery pack and a heating controller electrically coupled to the heating element to drive current through the heating element and provide heat to the battery cells of the battery pack. The weaving of the heating element between the battery cells provides fixed mechanical support to the heating element.
