The studies and the practical measuring results on the heat generation behavior of high performance HEV battery under conditions of charge
discharge and overcharge have been reviewed.On the basis of summarizing the advantage and disadvantage of battery thermal management system(BTM) using air and liquid cooling
it is pointed out that PCM based BTMS for lithium ion power battery would become an important trend in the future.The general designing procedure of BTMS is simply introduced at the end o...
