Abstract
Battery electric vehicles are finding increased application in niche market sectors where higher vehicle capital cost and range are not constraining specification criteria. These applications can be relatively high power demanding, thus a number of high energy traction batteries need to be connected in parallel. Here, inequality in the individual battery characteristics can lead to significant degradation of vehicle performance. This paper presents results of a study investigating the parallel operation of 2xZEBRA batteries and the impact of battery cell failure on vehicle operating performance. The paper will give an overview of the battery model, potential failure modes, ride-through capability and battery management.
