Chevy Volt Battery Technology
Take a behind the scenes look at the technology behind the batteries in the Chevy Volt
Chevy Volt battery technology.
The battery for the Chevy Volt has been engineered to withstand whatever climate or surroundings it is asked to perform in. It is continually being tested and improved to give the consumer the highest quality and longest lasting battery available.
The Volt uses a unique liquid thermal cooling and heating system that keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature, as it’s being charged and discharged. Each battery cell is encased in a polymer-coated aluminum package to withstand harsh climates. It also uses meticulously developed anode, cathode and electrolyte chemistry to improve the battery life under high temperature conditions and a wide range of charge states.
Chevrolet teamed up with LG Chem to design a durable and reliable battery. Each battery cell is encased in a polymer-coated aluminum package to withstand harsh climates. It also uses meticulously developed anode, cathode and electrolyte chemistry improve the battery life under high temperature conditions and a wide range of charge states. A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature, as it’s being charged and discharged.The Volt battery is designed for long life and reliability. Each battery pack is made up of 288 rectangular cells arranged in a series-parallel configuration. Computer systems monitor the battery cells to make sure everything is working correctly.
Volt is a full–performance and full–speed electric vehicle with extended range. In its simplest form, Volt operates two ways – in EV mode (battery powered) and extended–range (gasoline powered) mode. With a fully charged battery, in moderate conditions and depending on the temperature, terrain, battery age and how you drive.
