Battery Packs

1. Overview

Battery packs are integrated assemblies of multiple electrochemical cells connected in series, parallel, or combination configurations to deliver required voltage, capacity, and power. These modular energy storage systems play critical roles in portable electronics, electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy storage, and industrial equipment. Modern advancements in battery chemistry and management systems have enabled higher energy densities, faster charging capabilities, and improved safety features essential for expanding electrification across industries.
