Handbook of Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Design - Chemistry, Components, Types and Terminology
This handbook offers to the reader a clear and concise explanation of how Li-ion batteries are designed from the perspective of a manager, sales person, product manager or entry level engineer who is not already an expert in Li-ion battery design. It will offer a layman's explanation of the history of vehicle electrification, what the various terminology means, and how to do some simple calculations that can be used in determining basic battery sizing, capacity, voltage and energy. By the end of this book the reader has a solid understanding of all of the terminology around Li-ion batteries and is able to do some simple battery calculations.

Long Hard Road
Long Hard Road: The Lithium-Ion Battery and the Electric
Car provides an inside look at the birth of the lithium-ion
battery, from its origins in academic labs around the world to its
transition to its new role as the future of automotive power. It
chronicles the piece-by-piece development of the battery, from its
early years when it was met by indifference from industry to its
later emergence in Japan where it served in camcorders, laptops,
and cell phones. The book is the first to provide a glimpse inside
the Japanese corporate culture that turned the lithium-ion
chemistry into a commercial product. It shows the intense race
between two companies, Asahi Chemical and Sony Corporation, to
develop a suitable anode. It also explains, for the first time, why
one Japanese manufacturer had to build its first preproduction
cells in a converted truck garage in Boston, Massachusetts.
Building on that history, Long Hard Road then takes
readers inside the auto industry to show how lithium-ion solved the
problems of earlier battery chemistries and transformed the
electric car into a viable competitor. Starting with the Henry Ford
and Thomas Edison electric car of 1914, it chronicles a long list
of automotive failures, then shows how a small California car
converter called AC Propulsion laid the foundation for a revolution
by packing its car with thousands of tiny lithium-ion cells. The
book then takes readers inside the corporate board rooms of Detroit
to show how mainstream automakers finally decided to adopt
lithium-ion.
Long Hard Road is unique in its telling of the
lithium-ion tale, revealing that the battery chemistry was not the
product of a single inventor, nor the dream of just three Nobel
Prize winners, but rather was the culmination of dozens of
scientific breakthroughs from many inventors whose work was united
to create a product that ultimately changed the world.
