Li-ion Thermal Management
Lithium-ion batteries in EV’s Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in Electric 2, 3 and 4-wheeler vehicles with varied power capacities ranging from 1 kWh – 5 kWh for 2-wheelers and more than 5kWh for 3-wheelers. Since the electrochemistry of Li-Ion batteries are temperature sensitive, an improper control of thermal conditions in battery application can result in a multitude of issues and concerns.
Existing solution offered by PLUSS Flood and Fill (F&F) technology – This is a low to moderate thermally conductive PCM with a liquid form- factor. This form-factor allows the battery back to be immersed inside liquid PCM. This process would require the outer casing of battery pack to be leak proof.

Management of Li-Ion batteries
Especially in a hot country like India where temperatures are known to reach 50 Degrees Celsius, is crucial because:
- Prolonged exposure of Li-Ion batteries to ambient temperatures higher than 45°C results in loss of performance over time with consistently reduced output.
- Battery pack, when not thermally well managed to operate within safe temperature limits can lead to thermal runaway of cells damaging the battery pack.
- Increase in reaction kinetics at higher temperatures (more than 45°C) can sometimes lead to uncontrolled exothermic reactions within the battery, leading to accelerated heat generation and even explosion.
- Moderate overcharging can lead to high temperatures that cause inhomogeneity in the electrolytic composition, ultimately leading to short circuits.
- Battery pack life decreases drastically when operated consistently at high temperatures during lifetime.
Value proposition for the Electric Vehicle and Battery pack manufacturers
- Improved range – By increased useable capacity of the batteries by 25%.
- Enhanced safety – Reduces the instance of a thermal runaway occurring by 4 times. Prolonged exposure to fire PCM-based battery pack delays the chain reaction by 40 minutes as compared to 5 to 10 minutes without PCMs.
- Faster charging – Enables enhanced charging performance.
- Improved battery life – Slows down degradation of the battery, improving the life by 75%.
