787 Batteries and Chargers - Part 1

Warning when approaching limits

Hi,

Archae86,

I liked it. Fault tolerance and Graceful Degradation will be improved with this approach.

This afternoon i was imagining special compartments with each battery, near plane outer surface with safety mechanisms. A bigger battery case with separated cells (ea one in a chamber), cell conections in the top, manifold with 8 bifurcations (metallic) and means to promote escape of cell leaks (even fire), etc.

All with improved battery management for charge and discharge. WRT to electrical circuitry:

Individual cell management, adaptive voltage (charge) CONTROL (not just monitoring).

Temp sensors PER CELL and other details like battery case geometry, parallel cell charger with extra features are being studied.

The opportunity was being motivating for me in an electric (actually hibrid) vehicle design, being R&Dīd. Safety first.
