What are battery busbars made of?

Individual battery busbars made of e.g. copper Cu-ETP for your rechargeable battery & accumulator packs (example LiFePo4 cells). We look forward to hearing from you! An accumulator or battery pack consists of several accumulator or battery cells. These cells are connected either in series or in parallel.

What makes a battery flexible busbar?

Since the type, size and number of cells of the battery play an essential role in the design of the battery connectors, we design and manufacture your battery flexible busbars with individual bends for path & vibration compensation, cross-sections, and insulation .

What are battery busbars used for?

Application areas of such battery packs: automobiles, quads, motorcycles, buses, railroads, commercial vehicles, funsport-mobiles, pedelecs, segways, storage technology for renewable energies, energy supply and many more. To protect adjacent components, battery busbars are insulated according to your specifications.

What is the difference between copper and aluminium busbars?

Compared to copper busbars aluminium offers a weight and cost save, but requires an increase in cross-sectional area of ~62%. Hence aluminium busbars need more volume for packaging. The highest conductivity is achieved by high purity aluminium (purity of 99.9 wt% Al and higher) in soft temper.

Are busbars good thermal conductors?

These should be a physical clip that is designed for the life of the pack and considers all of the above points and all environmental inputs. Busbars are good electrical and hence good thermal conductors. This means they can conduct heat away or to other components.

What is a good size for a copper busbar?

The gradient of the “straight line fit” shows that 5.9A/mm 2 is a rough estimate for copper busbar size. However, to be on the safe side of this I would initially size at 5A/mm 2 before doing the detailed electrothermal analysis. An important aspect to consider in all busbar designs is to consider the environment and the materials.
