Summary: This study reviews the current state-of-the-art self-heating methods and proposes the heating triangle as a new quantitative indicator for comparing self-heating methods. The heating triangle considers three fundamental metrics: specific heating rate, coefficient of performance, and specific temperature difference, enabling a quantitative assessment of self-heating methods. The analysis shows that similar metrics are observed for the same type of self-heating method, supporting the universality of the proposed indicator. The proposed heating triangle provides a standardized approach to compare heating methods and drive innovation.

Summary: Deviations between batteries in series increase with the number of cycles and can impact battery pack lifetime, cost, and security. Equalization methods are important for reducing these differences, with active equalization showing better results in reducing battery capacity differences while hybrid equalization is more effective in reducing overall battery differences. Active equalization is suitable for short period charge and discharge, while hybrid equalization is more conducive to regular maintenance of the battery pack.

Summary: This article presents a noninvasive technical analysis of degradation in four lithium-ion batteries used in extreme frigid weather conditions. The batteries were aged during an expedition in the WindSled project, covering over 2500 km on the East Antarctic Plateau using a zero-emission vehicle. The study shows that the batteries experienced a 5% capacity fade and a 30% increase in internal resistance, but no substantial increase in the impedance of the solid electrolyte interface. These results indicate that the batteries can successfully operate at -50 degrees C and can still be used in future expeditions, providing financial and environmental benefits.

Summary: This paper proposes a liquid BTMS based on a multichannel cold plate, suitable for a lithium-ion battery pack consisting of two prismatic cells. Multi-objective optimization combined with computational fluid dynamics simulations is used to determine the optimal mass flow rate combination of coolant in the channels for reducing the power consumption of the BTMS without compromising its thermal performance. The results show a significant reduction in mass flow rate, maximum pressure, and power consumption compared to the case of equal mass flow rate, while maintaining the temperature rise and distribution within the nominal range.
