Specifications and Structure of Cylindrica lLithium Batteries

一、Specification of cylindrical lithium-ion battery


Cylindrical lithium-ion batteries are the first commercialized lithium-ion batteries. Compared with pouch and rectangular lithium-ion batteries, they have the highest degree of automation and the lowest cost.


Currently, the market mainly has 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries and 21700 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries. Other common cylindrical lithium-ion batteries include CR14505, 14650, 17490, 18650, 21700, and 26650.


Cylindrical lithium-ion batteries are divided into lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, manganese cobalt mixed material, and ternary system, and the shell is divided into steel shell and polymer shell. Different material systems of batteries have different advantages.


Currently, the important cylindrical body adopts steel-shell cylindrical lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have the characteristics of large capacity, high output voltage, good charge and discharge cycling performance, stable output voltage, stable electrochemical performance, safe operation, wide operating temperature range, and environmental friendliness.


二、Structure of cylindrical lithium-ion battery


The unit is mainly composed of positive electrode, negative electrode, separator, positive and negative current collectors, safety valve, overcurrent protection device, insulation, and shell. The shell, which was mostly made of steel in the early days, is currently mostly made of aluminum.


The design of overcurrent protection devices varies among manufacturers and can be customized according to different safety requirements and at different prices. Common safety devices include PTC positive temperature coefficient resistors and fuse devices.


When overcurrent occurs, the resistance heats up, and the accumulation of temperature promotes the rise of PTC resistor value. When the temperature exceeds the threshold, it will suddenly increase, which isolates the faulty unit from the entire circuit and prevents further thermal runaway.


In principle, a fuse is a fuse. When there is too much current, the fuse blows and the circuit is disconnected.


The difference between the two protection devices of lithium-ion batteries is that the former can be restored, while the latter is a disposable protection. Once a fault occurs, the system must consider replacing the problem unit to make it work normally.
