Disassembly of energy storage high voltage box

What makes disassembling battery housings easier?

All battery housings are assembled using screws which is beneficial for the disassembly since it is possible to remove the lid without damaging it. However, a large amount of screws is needed, making it a time-consuming activity and an increased number of parts results in longer lead times as well as higher material usage.

How is the battery management box attached?

The battery management box is attached mechanically with one screw variant as well as using one standardized charge contact to facilitate service of the pack.

Can a battery management box be used in a heavier truck?

The battery management box is its own module and can be used in heavier trucks. Two or three of these frames or modules can be applied in the heavier trucks.

Why is a battery disassembled?

A battery is disassembled for several reasons, such as service or recycling, to access and move different parts safely since high voltage is involved. During these actions, it is significant for the battery to be safe to work with.

What is the purpose of HV switches in the switch box?

The switch box holds switches, such as high voltage (HV) switches, which are used for disconnecting the battery from the vehicle. See Figure 8 for reference.

How are battery modules distributed in a battery pack?

The battery modules are already modularised in the way that the same type is used throughout the pack. The module frame consists of one frame with equally distributed gaps for the battery module connections.
