A superior solution for electric vehicle battery pack insulation

 

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers face a constant challenge: making batteries safer, more efficient and cost-effective. A critical part of this is maintaining consistent pressure on battery cells while providing reliable EV battery pack insulation. Elmelin Compression Pads Plus are engineered specifically for EV batteries to achieve this balance, improving safety, performance and extending the useful life of the battery.

Superior performance

Compared to other compression pads, the unique composition of Elmelin Compression Pads Plus offers superior thermal resistance and dielectric strength. Compression Pads Plus can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C, 5 times higher than many standard solutions, and up to 2000V, 10 times higher than typical alternatives.

Extending the useful life of the battery

By maintaining the right amount of pressure on the battery pack, Compression Pads Plus help to maintain cell charger whilst allowing the battery to expand and change during operation. Our battery compression pads accommodate these movements, preserving cell performance and extending the battery’s lifespan. This reduces environmental impact from lithium-ion battery production and increases the commercial viability of EVs.
