Background
Being one of the modern times most important industries the battery development industry is facing a problem. That is to ensure the same performance, both during charging and discharging, regardless of surrounding temperature. More and more applications and devices are mobile and thus vulnerable to changing temperatures e.g. mobile handheld devices, electric cars etc.
Objective
To attack this problem heating of the batteries is essential in order to make them operate at optimal capacity in cold conditions. If this issue can be solved more applications can be “unlocked” for the battery manufacturers increasing their market. The batteries life span is also increased if they are operating at their respective best temperature. This, of course, has to be done by using the least amount of energy for heating. In short batteries are in need of external intelligent heating element.
Conflux solution
Conflux possesses experience and is investigating battery performance in varying thermal conditions. The Conflux ZPZ foil optimizes the external heating needs of the batteries making them more efficient and longer lasting. Because of the inherent point wise self regulation properties of the Conflux ZPZ foil more energy is used in the start up phase in order for the batteries to quickly reach optimal temperature then very little energy is used to maintain that temperature. This means that the overall energy consumption is lower than competitors. The Conflux ZPZ foil does not need any extra switches, sensors or cables which also help reduce the energy consumption.
Benefits
Due to the Conflux ZPZ foil more devices powered by batteries can operate in cold conditions. Both the problem of discharging and charging is solved by having the Conflux foil as a heating element for the batteries in cold conditions giving them their optimal thermal surroundings and thus increased application duration. |
