What is a Battery Pack? Definition, Types, Applications, and
What is a Battery Pack? A battery pack is a collection of one or more individual batteries that are connected together to store and supply electrical energy.
A battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual battery cells. They may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both to deliver the desired voltage and current. The term battery pack is often used in reference to cordless tools, radio-controlled hobby toys, and battery electric vehicles.
The primary components of a battery pack are the individual cells, which are the source of energy. These cells can vary in size and chemistry, depending on the application. Interconnects provide electrical connectivity between the cells. They allow current to flow efficiently and enable configurations like series or parallel connections.
A lithium-ion battery pack is a collection of multiple lithium-ion cells connected together to store and provide electrical energy. These battery packs power various electronic devices, from smartphones to electric vehicles, due to their high energy density and rechargeable nature.
Battery packs offer flexibility in design, making it possible to use high-production, cost-effective cells in various applications. Individual batteries within a pack can be removed and recycled separately, reducing waste and supporting sustainability efforts. Servicing a battery pack requires special care.
