Abstract :
This paper presents a depth analysis of advanced Lithium Polymer Batteries, which have applications in electrical vehicles (EV). These batteries will enable the EV to have range more than 200 miles per charge, because of their very high energy density. The chemical reactions, battery characteristics, fast chargeability, capacities, self discharge, effect of temperature, and life cycle are studied. This paper will also discuss electric vehicles where these batteries are installed, batteries availability, and manufacturing companies. Experimental analysis of a 100 A-h lithium polymer battery is presented in this paper.
