Rapid developments in the lithium-ion battery technology in the last decade have made it the overwhelming choice over lead-acid batteries, especially for advanced vehicles like hybrid and electric vehicles. However, for the traditional starting-lighting-ignition (SLI) application, the lead-acid technology continues to be dominant due to its low costs, despite its shortcomings. This could change in the future as a consequence of the introduction of newer, cheaper and safer lithium technologies. This paper examines the feasibility of using lithium-ion batteries for SLI application in conventional vehicles, over the lifetime of the vehicle, along with their battery management and thermal management systems and various related issues.

Abstract
Rapid developments in the lithium-ion battery technology in the last decade have made it the overwhelming choice over lead-acid batteries, especially for advanced vehicles like hybrid and electric vehicles. However, for the traditional starting-lighting-ignition (SLI) application, the lead-acid technology continues to be dominant due to its low costs, despite its shortcomings. This could change in the future as a consequence of the introduction of newer, cheaper and safer lithium technologies. This paper examines the feasibility of using lithium-ion batteries for SLI application in conventional vehicles, over the lifetime of the vehicle, along with their battery management and thermal management systems and various related issues.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
