Module Design and Assembly
In initial designing stage, while considering the shape of a battery module, please make sure the battery module inserted space and method in the equipment. Also, please take it into consideration the heat dissipation approaches during fast charging, Basic shapes of battery modules are shown in Fig. 18.

Appearance

Series A:
cells are assembled into close vertical rows from one to five, connected by spot welding nickel sheets and then packaged with a shrinkage tube.
Series B:
cells are assembled into close parallel rows form one to five, connected by spot welding the nickel sheets and then packaged with a shrinkage tube.

Protective Components and Devises


In designing of battery modules, please fully understand and consider possible abnormality of the charger and possible external short circuit of the battery module, before selecting the protective components. Protective components recommended by YUASA Company are shown in Fig.19. It is also necessary to consider the discharge condition and ambient temperature when selecting the protective components.

1. Temperature switch
2. PTC (Positive temperature coefficient heat-sensitive resistance)
3. NTC (Negative temperature coefficient heat-sensitive resistance)

Protective components of battery modules
Short circuit, Over-current protection
Temperature examination Remark
Both temperature protector and fuse are used Heat sensitive resistance:
Cut off charge and discharge beyond recommended temperature
Select protective components and devices, according to the charge and discharge conditions. You may increase and reduce protective devices at different conditions.
Both temperature protector and PTC are used
¡ù Temperature protector and PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) have recovering function and fuse is non-recovered.

Additional Description on Module Assembly

(1)Each cell within a battery module is connected with another by spot welding. The reason of selecting nickel sheet is the low resistance of nickel, without increasing much total resistance. In spot welding process, be care not to break the nickel sheet with over-current, or unstable welding site caused by too low current. If the thickness is more than 2mm, the nickel sheet should be processed into special shape, insuring the quality of spot welding.

(2) In designing outside containers of battery modules, heat and gas releasing holes should be arranged, because heat and gas may be generated during batteries operation. If the temperature is too high, the cycle life and other performances of batteries shall be affected greatly.
