Battery Cell Pad: A crucial component positioned between pouch-type battery cells in electric vehicles. Its function involves preventing collisions between cells due to swelling during battery charging and discharging, mitigating vibrations during driving, extending battery cell lifespan, and preventing fire incidents. The pad exhibits excellent compression resilience for swelling control and external impact protection.BatteryCellPad:Acrucialcomponentpositionedbetweenpouch-typebatterycellsinelectricvehicles.Itsfunctioninvolvespreventingcollisionsbetweencellsduetoswellingduringbatterycharginganddischarging,mitigatingvibrationsduringdriving,extendingbatterycelllifespan,andpreventingfireincidents.Thepadexhibitsexcellentcompressionresilienceforswellingcontrolandexternalimpactprotection.
Fire Barrier: A critical safety component located between battery modules, designed to delay thermal runaway propagation and flame spread during a battery fire, thereby securing golden time for passenger evacuation. This product saw its initial application in the Kia EV9.FireBarrier:Acriticalsafetycomponentlocatedbetweenbatterymodules,designedtodelaythermalrunawaypropagationandflamespreadduringabatteryfire,therebysecuringgoldentimeforpassengerevacuation.ThisproductsawitsinitialapplicationintheKiaEV9.
