Background
Lithium ion batteries have emerged in the early 90 s of the 20 th century, and technology for lithium ion batteries has seen unprecedented development in as little as twenty years. At present, the performance of lithium ion batteries, whether specific energy, specific power, working voltage or service life, is better than that of lead-acid batteries and nickel-hydrogen batteries, and the lithium ion batteries gradually become the development direction of power batteries. With the improvement of the safety performance and the low-temperature discharge performance of the lithium ion battery, more and more electric vehicles using the lithium ion power battery as a power source are provided, and the application prospect is very wide. However, as a chemical power source, a lithium ion battery is accompanied by complicated chemical and electrochemical reaction processes and material transmission processes during charging and discharging, and the heat generated in the reaction processes and other factors jointly affect the change of the battery temperature.
Data show that during the rapid charge and discharge process of the power lithium ion battery, ions and electrons are transferred inside the power lithium ion battery, and a large amount of heat is generated. At present, heat production test patents all need to adopt an adiabatic calorimeter, and the battery rate discharge temperature rise can be reduced by a suitable battery external tab connection mode without considering battery discharge except the heat production of a battery body. There is a need for a suitable method to effectively verify the heat generated by the battery discharge.
Chinese patent document CN105242213B discloses a method for simultaneously testing reversible and irreversible heat generation of a lithium ion battery. The reversible and irreversible heat production of the lithium ion battery under a certain charge state, a certain temperature and a certain charge and discharge current is tested by combining an adiabatic acceleration calorimeter and a charge and discharge tester. The technical scheme only analyzes the heat production of the battery, and does not consider that the battery discharges except the heat production of the battery body, and the temperature rise of the battery multiplying power discharge can be reduced by a proper battery external tab connection mode.
