Pack design is shifting from a modular-based design to cell-to-pack. Cell-to-pack (CTP) battery design is a manufacturing process used to create lithium-ion battery packs by directly integrating individual battery cells into the pack without using module-level electronics.
In today's modular-based configuration, a minimum of two discrete thermal interface materials (TIMs) are employed to regulate the modules' temperature and ensure safe, efficient performance. However, the added weight and volume from the design's inactive portions lead to compromised pack energy density. Plus, the many discrete parts increase the complexity of the design, manufacturing and supply chain logistics.
Given the challenges of the current battery pack design, many EV and battery manufacturers are eliminating modules entirely and directly bond batteries to the cooling plate. This new module-free approach, referred to as “Cell-to-Pack” (CTP), reportedly increases volume-utilization space from 15-50%, depending upon battery cell design. Moreover, the number of parts is claimed to be reduced up to 40%.
