A New Design of Li-Ion Battery for a Smart Suitcase

Abstract

Lithium-ion battery, a high energy density resource has played a major role in revolutionizing current the era of digital electronics by acting as the major power mode for various power tools, mobile-computer, and electric vehicle industries. But recently, logged battery accidents have clearly highlighted the risk associated with it, in-turn, making its reliable and secure use a major concern. Therefore, we are designing a battery pack for a semi-autonomous suitcase with the aim of preventing shock, mishandlings, and over-heating while integrating it with a simple lock-in and easy removal mechanism. Also, our work features mobile charging and regenerative system for charging of the pack at run-time.
