  • Battery cell group temperature measurement system
    Patent number: 12381266
    Abstract: A cell temperature measurement system for a battery module is described. The system may include a cell monitoring unit (CMU) configured to generate temperature measurements for a plurality of battery cells included as part of the battery module according to contactless, optical, or line-of-sight measurements made with one or more sensors associated with a temperature measurement device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 2022
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2025
    Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLC
    Inventors: Roger M. Brisbane, Paul R. Campbell, Seth P. Mansfield
  • BATTERY CELL GROUP CONDUCTIVE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240250325
    Abstract: A cell temperature measurement system for a battery includes a heat spreader and a temperature sensor. The heat spreader is configured to thermally conduct energy through a substrate from a cell contact to a sensor contact. The temperature sensor is configured to generate a measurement reflective of a cell or another component temperature of the battery. The temperature sensor may generate the temperature measurement according to readings taken with a probe positioned proximate the sensor contact.
