[AmericanThinker] This past Friday, the enterprise released a research report titled, “Deep Dive: Lithium Ion Batteries and Heat” which included a hilariously absurd graphic (although undoubtedly it wasn’t meant to be taken as such) that showed the “optimal temperature” range to avoid issues, and that scope was limited to between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Outside of that limited field, and there’s either “slow reactions” or “accelerated side reactions” like those listed at the outset of this blog; from the report itself:
Given the risks of excess heat in a battery, thermal management systems are essential to maintain safe operating temperatures. If the battery overheats, it can lead to safety hazards, reduced battery performance, and accelerated degradation of the battery components. |
