• How is the battery electric Tesla Model S

Tesla Motors is the creator of a truly revolutionary ekomobiley that not only mass-produced, but also have unique indexes that allow them to use virtually every day.

Today we take a look inside the electric Tesla Model S battery know how it is arranged.

According to the North American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Model S only one charging batteries of 85 kWh to overcome more than 400 km, which is the most significant figures presented in the niche market among similar vehicles. For acceleration to 100 km / h electric cars need only 4, 4 seconds.

The success of this model is the presence of lithium-ion batteries, the main components of which are available for Tesla Panasonic. Tesla batteries covered with legends. And so one of the owners of such a battery decided to violate its integrity, and figure out that it is a inside. By the way, the cost of such batteries is 45 000 USD.

The battery is located on the bottom, so that the Tesla has a low center of gravity and excellent handling. Joins it to the body by means of brackets.

The battery compartment 16 is formed of blocks that are connected in parallel and are shielded from the environment by means of metal plates, as well as plastic plate which prevents water from entering.

Battery Opening Tesla Model S

Before completely disassemble it, was an electrical voltage is measured, which confirmed the working condition of the battery.

battery assembly has a high density and precision fitting parts. The whole process takes place in the assembly completely sterile room, using robots.

Each unit consists of 74 elements in appearance very similar to the simple penlight batteries (lithium-ion Panasonic cell), divided into 6 groups. At the same time, to find out the scheme of their location and operation is almost impossible - it's a big secret, and thus to make a replica of this battery will be extremely difficult. Chinese battery analogue Tesla Model S, we hardly see.

The role of the positive electrode is graphite, as a negative - nickel, cobalt and aluminum oxide. Said amount of voltage in the capsule is 3, 6B.

Battery Cooling System Tesla

The most powerful of the available batteries (with a volume of 85 kWh) consists of 7104 these batteries. And it weighs about 540 kg, and its parameters are 210 cm long, 150 cm wide and 15 cm thick. The amount of energy generated by only one unit of 16, equal to the amount produced by hundreds of batteries of laptop computers.

Battery Pack Tesla exploded

When assembling its Tesla batteries used elements made in various countries, such as India, China, Mexico, but the final completion and equipment manufactured in the United States. The company provides a warranty of their products for up to 8 years.
