The P-count determines the capacity of the pack in Amp-hours (Ah), and it also determines the amount of current the pack will be able to produce, measured in amps. For this example, we will use my favorite ebike cell, the Samsung 30Q. It is factory-rated as having 3000-mAh (milli-Amp-hours), which is the same as 3-Amp-hours (3-Ah).
Lithium-ion batteries have become the first choice of energy storage equipment for electric vehicles (EVs), because of their advantages in energy density, output power and cycle life [1].The operating temperature of the lithium-ion power battery should generally be maintained between 20–40 °C [2].When the temperature is too high, the accumulated heat will affect the

Fortunately [Adam Bender] is on hand with an extremely comprehensive two-part guide to designing and building lithium-ion battery packs from cylindrical 18650 cells. In one sense we think the two-parter is in the wrong order.
To make a battery pack, the first step is to know the nominal voltage of a cell. The cells selected by us have a nominal voltage of 3.7Volts while the charge voltage is 4.2V. So, in order to make a 12 V pack, we require 3 cells connected in series. The image of cells we used is shown below We are selecting a 3.7V battery with a capacity of 1200mAh.
Custom battery pack configurations describe how individual cells are connected together to create a complete battery pack. The environment in which the battery pack is used and the electrical connection of the individual cells (series or parallel) are two key considerations when designing a battery pack and working out the best configuration.
It is composed of 16 modules with 432 cells of the type 18650 and a NCA chemistry, resulting in a total of 6912 cells in each pack. (42) Furthermore, the cells inside the modules are packed in groups which are wired in series to each other, creating a battery inside the battery. The same goes for the modules which also are connected in series.
The packs’ primary components are the modules, often connected electrically in series and constructed by a set of cells. These cells can either be cylindrical, prismatic or pouch as illustrated in Figure 6. (4) The electrolyte used in the battery packs varies depending on what kind of cell that is employed.
The types of battery, the number of cells, the shape of the pack, and the components of the pack will be determined by the voltage and load current of the device being powered. Other considerations will be available space, operating temperature, usage conditions, transportation requirements, and charge/discharge specifications.
