  • Publication number: 20230411705
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lithium iron phosphate module having seventy-two (72) 26650 lithium iron phosphate cylindrical cells arranged in an 8S9P architecture, with the ā€œSā€ being the number of supercells connected in series and the ā€œPā€ being the number of cells connected in parallel. A five-layer clad material forms at least two current collector plates that are interconnected to the lithium iron phosphate cylindrical cells by a resistive welding process. The current collector plates each have a tab custom stamped on the five-layer clad material that is connected to a battery management system by running a voltage sense wire with a quick disconnect tab on the end from the battery management system to the custom stamped tab to monitor and balance the 24V output and 34Ah current of the cells in the module. At least two cell holders enclose the lithium iron phosphate cylindrical cells and the current collector plates.
