Numerous efforts have been done to mitigate environmental waste and global warming. One of them is the development of various eco-friendly vehicles such as Hybrid Electric Vehicles, Battery Electric Vehicles, and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. The reliability of those vehicles is affected by the performance of its Liion battery, which is usually used as the main energy source. Li-ion is a type of battery that has a high energy density and long life cycle. The battery will reach optimal performance when operated at room temperature, but the performance will decrease with increasing temperature. To achieve the optimal performance, a battery thermal management system is designed with the goal to be implemented in an eco-friendly vehicle. In this final project, a battery module is constructed from polyisocyaunurate (PIR), which is a thermal insulator material, and a cooling mechanism through fan control to channel cooling air. Design and testing process is performed by using 12V LiFeMnPo4 battery with a rated capacity of 100 Ah. The battery module devised can maintain battery operating temperature at an average of 26 C with a 0.18% additional load from the fan, while keeping the battery capacity decline per cycle under 1.5%.
