Abstract : The impact of nickel strip designs on the resistance and voltage drop in lithium ion battery packs is examined in this study. In a series parallel battery pack configuration, the effectiveness of coated and pure nickel strips is assessed, with particular attention paid to how they influence voltage drop, internal resistance, and overall efficiency. Each of the 24 series and 3 parallel cells that make up the battery pack has an internal resistance of 6 mΩ. Two configurations are analyzed: one utilizing pure nickel strips and another with coated nickel strips. The resistivity, cross sectional area, and length of the material are used to compute the equivalent resistance of the nickel strips for each arrangement. Voltage dips at a load current of 50A are determined to compare the performance of both strip. The study also looks at the voltage drop at key locations in the battery pack, including particular bent strips. The findings show that the coated nickel design displays a larger resistance (0.237Ω) and voltage drop (11.735V) than the pure nickel configuration, which has a lower total resistance (0.048Ω) and voltage drop (2.82V). Evaluation of the voltage drop during charging is also done for charging currents of 6A and 10A, demonstrating that the pure nickel arrangement allows for more efficient charging. One of the main elements affecting battery pack performance is internal resistance, which has a direct impact on the system's voltage drop and overall energy efficiency. The thickness, width, resistivity, and number of parallel strips utilized in this nickel strip material all have a major effect on the battery pack's total resistance. Because of this, the nickel strip design can improve or worsen the pack's power delivery, particularly in high load scenarios.
