LG Chem/CPI Lithium Ion Battery Packs
 |
Battery packs typically include battery cells, a battery management system, a high voltage junction box and interconnects housed in a mechanical enclosure. Internal wiring connects the battery cells in a desired series or parallel configuration.
The primary function of the Lithium ion battery is to safely store energy that can be used as needed during vehicle launch or acceleration. In commercial applications, the advanced battery may also supply power to run loads while the vehicle engine is not running.

LG Chem/CPI Lithium ion battery packs are typically developed for customer specific applications in the automotive or commercial industries due to varying voltage and energy demands.
Battery Management Systems
Battery Management Systems feed system information to the vehicle controllers.This is a critical function because good battery management improves battery life and assures safety.
