Top 10 Ways to Choose Right Battery For Electric Vehicle Build
Here are some parameters, that you should look at, before choosing the right battery for electric vehicle.
1. Speed & Voltage
The higher voltage of your Battery System is equal to the faster EV can go.
2. Distance and Trade-Off
As with ICE, EVs require more fuel as they go farther. This will affect how far you can travel on a single charge.
3. Watt-Hour per Mile (Wh/m)
The Simple rule of thumb for vehicles is:Small Vehicle 250-300wh/mSmall Pickup 350-400wh/m
4. Battery Pack Size (KW):
Battery pack size is also important in many aspects, while choosing a new battery for your vehicle.
5. Required driving range
The final battery pack size depends on the desired range for your electric vehicle (EV). As a result, you must choose the theoretical range that will be required to translate this into the capacity in kWh.
6. Battery Power
The maximum discharge current of the batteries is determined by the peak power that the motor requires from the battery pack.
7. Temperature & Battery Type
The working temperature range for Li-Ion batteries is between 10 and 60 degrees Celsius.The operational temperature range for LiFePO batteries is -10 to 60 degrees Celsius.
8.Spatial constraints for the battery pack
Compared to LiFePo, Li-Ion battery chemistry offers a better energy density. As a result, larger LiFePo batteries will be required to produce the same amount of energy as Li-Ion batteries.
9. Reserve capacity
The amount of time a battery can deliver its maximum amperage before fully draining is known as its reserve capacity.
10. Warranty
When evaluating batteries, pay close attention to the warranty’s fine print to determine whether it is a full replacement guarantee or a prorated warranty.
