Lithium-ion cells for High-End applications

Abstract

Engineering and building lithium-ion cells for high-end applications usually requires a very different approach than manufacturing commercial batteries. The high-end power sources engineering challenges and ways to address them are in most cases unique to a given application and often require “pushing the envelope.” The lessons learned in such challenging conditions are often transferable to commercial applications. In this chapter, lithium-ion batteries for satellites, high energy, high power, and elevated temperature applications are discussed.
