| Abstract |
This study evaluates the design of a battery pack thermal control system for an Indonesian electric motor bike. A lithium battery can explode when it reaches a high temperature, so it is necessary to keep the battery pack at no more than +40 °C, even in high-temperature environmental conditions. Battery thermal management for the Gesits electric bike was investigated during battery discharge under high-temperature conditions. In this study, a battery discharge test was performed while hot soaking the battery at +40 °C; the performance of a battery that was temperature-controlled with the proposed cooling system was compared against a battery without a cooling system. Using the proposed method, the cooling was carried out with a Peltier TEC1-12710 thermoelectric cooling module. From the results, we observed that the Peltier module can improve the performance of an electric vehicle by up to 6%. |
