Introduction to the basics of battery replacement technology for electric boat
(I) Basic principles and types of battery swapping technology1. Basic principlesNew energy ship batte ry swapping technology refers to quickly restoring the ship's endurance by replacing the ship's battery modules, rather than through traditional charging methods. The core of this technology lies in the rapid replacement of battery packs to ensure that the ship can continue to sail in a short period of time.The basic principles of battery swapping technology include:Battery pack standardization: In order to achieve rapid replacement, the battery pack needs to adopt a standardized design to ensure that the battery packs between different ships are interchangeable.Quick connection and disconnection: The connection and disconnection between the battery pack and the ship need to be fast and reliable, and special quick connectors and disconnect devices are usually used.Battery management system: During the battery replacement process, the BMS needs to monitor the status of the battery pack in real time to ensure the safety and performance of the battery pack.2. Types of battery swapping technologyNew energy ship battery swapping technology is mainly divided into the following types:Overall replacement: The entire battery pack is replaced as a whole, which is suitable for ships with smaller battery packs. For example, some small electric outboard motors on the market currently have their own batteries. When the battery needs to be replaced, the whole battery of the main body can be replaced.Modular replacement: The battery pack is composed of multiple modules, and a module can be replaced individually, which is suitable for ships with larger battery packs. Battery modules can be large or small. For example, some large electric transport ships currently make battery modules in the form of 20-foot standard containers. When replacement is needed, just replace some module batteries.(II) Composition and workflow of the battery swap station1. Composition of the battery swap station The new energy ship battery swap station mainly consists of the following parts:Box battery storage area: used to store spare box power supplies to ensure that there are enough battery modules available for replacement.Replacement equipment: including battery replacement platform, lifting equipment, quick connectors, etc., for quick replacement of battery packs.Charging equipment: used to charge the replaced battery pack to ensure that the battery pack can be quickly restored to a usable state.Monitoring system: real-time monitoring of the operating status of the battery swap station, including the status of the battery pack, the status of the replacement equipment, etc.Safety system: including fire prevention, explosion prevention, leakage prevention and other safety measures to ensure the safe operation of the battery swap station.2. Workflow of the battery swap stationShip berthing: The ship enters the dock and docks at the designated berth.Battery pack inspection: staff or automated equipment checks the status of the ship's battery pack and confirms that it needs to be replaced.Battery pack replacement: use lifting equipment to quickly replace the box-type batteries on the ship.Battery pack charging: send the replaced box-type batteries to the battery swap station for charging.Ship leaves the station: After the box battery is replaced, the ship can leave the port and continue sailing.(III) Development trend of battery swap technology1. StandardizationBattery pack standardization: In order to achieve the interchangeability of battery packs, it is necessary to formulate unified battery pack standards, including size, interface, performance, etc.Replacement equipment standardization: Replacement equipment also needs to be standardized to ensure that the equipment between different battery swap stations is interoperable.2. IntelligenceAutomated replacement: Use automated equipment to replace battery packs to improve replacement efficiency and safety.Intelligent monitoring: Use intelligent monitoring systems to monitor the operating status of battery swap stations in real time, and promptly detect and handle abnormal situations.Data analysis: Use big data analysis technology to optimize the operation and management of battery swap stations and improve resource utilization.3. SafetySafety standards: Formulate strict safety standards to ensure the safe operation of battery swap stations.Safety technology: Use advanced safety technologies such as fire prevention, explosion prevention, and leakage prevention to prevent safety accidents.Safety training: Provide safety training for staff to improve safety awareness and emergency response capabilities. 4. NetworkingBattery swap station network: Establish a battery swap station network to achieve information sharing and collaborative work between different battery swap stations.Remote monitoring: Remote management and control of the battery swap station can be achieved through remote monitoring technology.Data sharing: Data sharing between the battery swap station and the ship and shore-based control center can be achieved through the data sharing platform.Bosa EnergyBosa Energy with 150GWH capacity and over 400,000 electric bus/utility vehicle application experience we are listing first 5 in China power battery industry.

Common causes of short circuit in lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries have high energy density, long cycle life and good charge and discharge performance. However, when a lithium-ion battery has an internal short circuit, it means that an abnormal conductive path has appeared between the positive and negative electrodes inside the battery.Under normal circumstances, lithium ions are orderly embedded and extracted between the positive and negative electrodes through the electrolyte during the charge and discharge process, and the diaphragm can effectively prevent the direct conduction of electrons between the positive and negative electrodes. However, when an internal short circuit occurs, the insulation between the positive and negative electrodes is destroyed, and electrons can bypass the normal circuit path and flow directly from the positive electrode to the negative electrode, forming a low-resistance short circuit. This abnormal current path will lead to a series of serious consequences and is one of the important reasons for battery failure.Common causes of short circuit in lithium-ion batteries(1) Manufacturing defectsMetal impurities: During the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries, if the cleanliness of the production environment is not well controlled or the raw materials contain metal impurities, these metal impurities may be mixed into the battery. When the metal impurity particles penetrate the diaphragm and contact the positive and negative electrodes, a conductive path will be formed between the positive and negative electrodes, causing an internal short circuit.Electrode burrs: During the manufacturing process of the electrode, if the operation is improper or the equipment is not accurate enough, tiny burrs may be generated on the edge of the electrode. These burrs may gradually penetrate the diaphragm as the battery is used, causing an internal short circuit.(2) Damage during useMechanical stress: In the daily use of lithium-ion batteries, they are inevitably subject to various mechanical stresses. For example, if a mobile phone is accidentally dropped or an electric car is driven on a bumpy road, the battery may be impacted or squeezed. When the battery is subjected to large mechanical stress, the internal electrodes, diaphragms and other structures may be deformed or damaged. For example, the diaphragm may rupture, resulting in direct contact between the positive and negative electrodes, thereby causing an internal short circuit.Temperature influence: Temperature has an important influence on the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries. When the battery is in a high temperature environment, the chemical reaction rate inside the battery will accelerate, which may lead to problems such as electrolyte decomposition. Under extremely high temperature conditions, the performance of the diaphragm will decrease, and it may even melt, causing the isolation between the positive and negative electrodes to fail and causing an internal short circuit. On the contrary, under low temperature conditions, the internal resistance of the battery will increase and the migration rate of lithium ions will slow down, which may also cause excessive local current inside the battery and cause an internal short circuit.(3) Battery agingAs the number of charge and discharge cycles of lithium-ion batteries increases, the battery will gradually age. During the aging process, a series of complex physical and chemical changes will occur inside the battery. For example, a thicker SEI film will gradually form on the surface of the negative electrode. The growth of this film may reduce the activity of the negative electrode material and may also produce some cracks. When these cracks expand to a certain extent, the contact between the negative electrode and the electrolyte may deteriorate, thereby causing local current concentration and leading to internal short circuits. In addition, as the number of cycles increases, the crystal structure of the positive electrode material may also change, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the material, which may also indirectly increase the risk of internal short circuits.Impact of short circuit in lithium-ion batteries(1) Battery capacity decayInternal short circuits can cause self-discharge inside the battery, where a large amount of electrical energy is consumed in vain and cannot be output to the outside for use by the device. Similarly, after an internal short circuit occurs in a lithium-ion battery, its actual available capacity will gradually decrease, and the device's endurance will also be greatly reduced.(2) Increased battery internal resistanceWhen an internal short circuit occurs, the current distribution inside the battery becomes uneven, and high current density appears in local areas. The increase in battery internal resistance will not only increase the energy loss of the battery during charging and discharging, reduce the battery's energy conversion efficiency, but also cause the battery to heat up during charging and discharging. If the battery is in a high internal resistance state for a long time, its life will be further shortened, accelerating the battery's failure process.(3) Increased risk of thermal runawayThermal runaway is one of the most serious consequences of an internal short circuit in a lithium-ion battery. When an internal short circuit occurs, a large amount of electrical energy is converted into heat energy in a short period of time, causing the temperature inside the battery to rise sharply. As the temperature rises, the chemical reaction inside the battery will further intensify, generating more heat, forming a vicious cycle. If this heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, when the temperature reaches a certain threshold, the battery will experience thermal runaway. In the thermal runaway state, the battery may smoke, catch fire or even explode, posing a great threat to personal safety and property safety.Therefore, in order to prevent short circuits in lithium-ion batteries, manufacturers need to optimize the manufacturing process; users also need to strengthen management of use; regular inspection and maintenanceBosa EnergyBosa Energy with 150GWH capacity and over 400,000 electric bus/utility vehicle application experience we are listing first 5 in China power battery industry.
