Cell Form Factors & Cell Sizes in Li-ion Battery Pack Design

Common Cell Formats and Sizes


Cylindricals:
Cylindrical cells have their electrodes rolled up like a jelly roll and placed inside a cylindrical case. These cells are relatively small, and dimensionally stable during operation.

Cells: cells are among the most widely used lithium-ion cell sizes. They measure 18mm in diameter and 65mm in length, hence the name. Capacity ranges from mAh up to mAh. These cells are used in laptops, flashlights, e-cigarettes, and some pioneer electric vehicle applications.

Cells: cells are a newer and bigger option. They measure 21mm in diameter and 70mm in length. These cells typically have higher capacity, ranging from mAh to -mAh. You can find these cells in electric vehicles, power tools, and high-performance flashlights.

//: Further evolution of the / size, with higher diameters. Usually found for LFP chemistry.

46XX Cells: The hyped cell and several similar-sized large-format cells labeled as , , and others&#;often abbreviated by the 46XX abbreviation&#;are upcoming automotive application-focused cell formats. Unlike the mere size progression seen in the shift from to cells, these cells significantly advance the connection between the electrode stack and the case through a &#;tabless&#; design, improving manufacturability and reducing costs. However, the augmented energy capacity of these cells raises safety concerns. Cells employing high-nickel layered oxide cathodes of this caliber are not readily accessible, as cell manufacturers tend to carefully vet customers for these energy-dense, large-form-factor cells. In contrast, LFP cells have recently become available on the open market.

// etc. Some large sizes of cylindrical format are present on the market, with LTO and LFP chemistry. 

How to choose the right lithium-ion battery?

Lithium battery cathode materials mainly include ternary materials, lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate and so on. Among them, lithium iron phosphate is more often used in the field of power batteries and large energy storage; lithium manganate is mainly used in the field of power batteries and energy storage, and more mixed with ternary materials.

 

Lithium-ion battery application prospects are indeed very bright, it can be used not only for electronic products, power tools, energy storage and even in electric vehicles are also recognized as otherwise the choice, so the future is bright.

 

Lithium-ion battery has the characteristics of light weight, large energy storage, high power, no pollution, etc. It is also more and more widely used in various fields, and its research and production have made great progress. Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles as a power source have become a new trend in the development of electric vehicles. Although many electric vehicles are still using lead-acid batteries, but with the promotion and use of lithium batteries, it is believed that lithium batteries will replace lead-acid batteries as the main power source of electric vehicles.

 

Next I give you a few tricks how to pick out a good lithium battery!

 

1, check the appearance and packaging

 

First, you can look at the packaging and appearance of lithium battery products. Although the appearance does not necessarily represent the root of a product, but a good product will not leave a worn out appearance, the appearance of a certain deceptive, but also from the appearance of screening out some inferior products.

2, Compare the weight

 

Although the lithium battery is small and large capacity, but its weight is proportional to its capacity, if it is a lithium polymer battery, the weight difference is too large, the capacity will certainly be insufficient, although there are some differences in the size of the battery itself capacity. In addition, you can also sense from the outer packaging whether the weight of the battery is relatively heavy, if the heavy is biased toward high-quality lithium batteries, so you can choose a relatively heavy lithium batteries.

 

3, test the internal resistance and maximum current

 

If the conditions allow, you can choose to test the maximum current of internal resistance, because the fastest way to judge the performance of lithium batteries is to test the internal resistance and maximum discharge current. Good quality lithium battery, the internal resistance is very small, and the maximum discharge current is very large. For example, using a 20A range multimeter, directly shorted to the two electrodes of the lithium battery, the current should generally be about 10A, or even higher, and can be maintained for a period of time, relatively stable is a good battery.

 

4, testing the work with electricity

 

General lithium battery with high quality protection plate quality are better than ordinary lithium batteries, in the lithium battery charged work process, continuous discharge for about 10 minutes battery poles do not get hot for lithium batteries with high quality protection plate, and the battery protection plate system is perfect.

 

5, look at the battery cell

 

Most of the cells used in lithium batteries are soft pack cells and cells, which are also the more common materials for lithium battery pack cells. First of all, check whether the core is brand new, because there are some bad small workshops on the market using second-hand cores to make lithium batteries. Soft pack lithium battery cells, also known as polymer cells, is a soft pack electrolyte in the form of gel, can be made into a variety of shapes, high battery safety, will not explode.
