Unlike most electronic integrated circuits and microchips in electric vehicles, which operate best at -40˚C to 85˚C or higher, the optimal temperature range for li-ion battery packs is quite narrow and varies depending upon cell supplier, charge and discharge mode and other factors.

The thermal requirements of battery packs are specific. Not only the temperatures of the battery cells are important but also the uniformity of the temperature inside the battery cell and within the battery pack are key factors of consideration, in order to deliver a robust and reliable thermal solution.

Why should a battery pack be cooled?
Therefore, proper cooling mechanism to have a good life and reliability on the battery system is necessary. The main objective of this analysis is to assess the maximum temperature that causes thermal runaway when the battery pack is cooled by several fluids.
At the same time, the control of the temperature spread between the battery cells in the battery pack is the key to ensuring the consistent temperature of the battery, inhibiting the thermal runaway of the battery, and ensuring normal operation of the battery pack. 3.
The temperature difference in the battery pack's designated area serves as the data-driven model's output feature. The temperature difference within the designated area of the battery pack is used as the output feature for the data-driven model.
LIBs demonstrate optimal performance in terms of efficiency and safety when operated within a temperature range of 20 °C–40 °C. Additionally, operating the battery at low temperatures can lead to performance degradation due to increased resistance, while excessively high temperatures may trigger dangerous events such as thermal runaway.
