Electric Vehicle Battery Systems provides operational theory and designguidance for engineers and technicians working to design and develop efficientelectric vehicle EV power sources. As Zero Emission Vehicles become arequirement in more areas of the world the technology required to design andmaintain their complex battery systems is needed not only by the vehicledesigners but by those who will provide recharging and maintenance servicesas well as utility infrastructure providers. Includes fuel cell and hybridvehicle applications.Written with cost and efficiency foremost in mind Electric Vehicle BatterySystems offers essential details on failure mode analysis of VRLA NiMH batterysystems the fastcharging of electric vehicle battery systems based on Pbacid NiMH Liion technologies and much more. Key coverage includes issuesthat can affect electric vehicle performance such as total battery capacitybattery charging and discharging and battery temperature constraints. Theauthor also explores electric vehicle performance battery testing 15 coreperformance tests provided lithiumion batteries fuel cells and hybridvehicles. In order to make a practical electric vehicle a thoroughunderstanding of the operation of a set of batteries in a pack is necessary.Expertly written and researched Electric Vehicle Battery Systems will proveinvaluable to automotive engineers electronics and integrated circuit designengineers and anyone whose interests involve electric vehicles and batterysystems. Addresses cost and efficiency as key elements in the design process Provides comprehensive coverage of the theory operation and configurationof complexbattery systems including Pbacid NiMH and Liion technologies Provides comprehensive coverage of the theory operation and configurationof complex battery systems including Pbacid NiMH and Liion technologies «
