6 Thermal Management Materials for EV Battery Applications

Li-ion batteries perform best when maintained within an optimal temperature range.   The challenge is exacerbated by the consumer’s desire for a rapid charge and discharge, both of which add to heat management issues.  Too hot or too cold and thermal instability can occur leading to thermal runaway that can at best destroy the cell and at worst start a vehicle fire.  Reducing this thermal instability is where many of the performance materials that we convert at JBC Technologies come into play. Die-cut performance materials such as those described in this post can be used at the cell level, the module level, and even the pack level.

JBC Adds Waterjet Cutting Services

JBC Technologies is proud to announce the addition of waterjet cutting to our already expansive list of converting capabilities. Not only does the addition of waterjet cutting services enable us to offer our customers a broader range of converting solutions for high volume production, but it also arms us with yet another method to create quick turn prototypes, building on our digital die-cutting capabilities.

JBC Expands Digital Cutting Capabilities with Die Cut Technologies Acquisition

Early December, JBC Technologies announced the acquisition of Colorado die-cutter, Die-Cut Technologies. Today, we want to provide a bit more detail on what that means for our customers in terms of digital die cutting.

Die-Cut Solutions for Electric Vehicle Batteries: Thermal Management

Electric vehicle batteries are very sensitive to changes in temperature and maintaining their surroundings at the proper conditions for optimal performance and safety is no easy task. Active thermal management systems can quickly become expensive and bulky, but with the careful placement of custom die-cut supplemental passive thermal management solutions made from high-performance specialty materials, EV manufacturers now have more options than ever when it comes to lightweight and effective EV battery thermal management.
