In my EV conversion I probably will be using Tesla battery modules and I am still in the process of investigating all ins and outs for doing so in a safe way.
One of the things is battery temperature management. Tesla has quite an advanced thermal management system which has a passive cooling target of 30,0 C, and active cooling target of 55,0 C and an active heating target of 8,0 degrees.
For active cooling they even use the airconditioning I believe, but that is only during fast charging (at 1.4C).
I won't push the limits that much and will only fastcharge at 0,85C max (and not even all the way, but until about 60% SOC).
My question is: How much heat does this create?
In other words, what cooling capacity do I need?
Have been searching a lot on the web, but have not been able to find any info. Does not necessarily need to be Tesla specific. Similar 18650 Lithium Ion info is also OK. I just need to get an idea about the number of radiators and radiator size.
Thanks in advance for thinking along.
