<p>A system for regulating the operating environment of an electric vehicle battery divides the battery into two sections for installation in the separate housings (10,10') in the engine compartment and boot space respectively. Temperature changes within the housings (10,10') caused by normal battery charge/discharge cycles during service are controlled within a predetermined range and to the exclusion of any explosive gases thereby generated by a fan-induced air circulation via the connecting conduits (13,14,13',14'). The air is warmed by heater elements or cooled by external air subject to temperature and fan speed sensors controlling appropriate valves in the housing (2).</p> |
