BATTERY HEATING SOLUTIONS

With the push for everything to go Green these days, we pride ourselves in being a supporter and supplier of meeting the needs of going Green. One aspect of this is the demand for more efficient batteries both for Hybrid and Electric cars.

Battery heating

As batteries are exposed to lower temperatures, the temperature of the battery itsslef can drop, causing chemical reactions to occur more slowly and producing a lower current than they would at room temperature.

In situations below -20°C, these reactions can happen so slowly and generate so little power that the battery can appear dead when in reality it is not. However, by adding heating to these batteries both lifetime and efficiency will increase, with the charging rate not being as affected by those sometimes extreme temperatures outside.
