The US Patent Office granted Patent No. US 12,191,469 B2 – titled Phase Change Composite Apparatus for Battery Packs and Methods of Making – for the PCC, which introduces an innovative manufacturing process that prevents thermal runaway propagation in Li-ion battery packs. The PCC spacer technology is designed to facilitate automated, high-volume battery assembly and provides a robust, flexible, and cost-effective passive thermal management solution for operating Li-ion batteries in extreme operating conditions.
“This latest patent continues our path of creating new battery technology solutions that increase barrier to entry for our competitors whilst creating value for our customers at a time when batteries are becoming more relevant for an increasingly broad range of applications” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “Our solutions solve thermal management, battery safety, and energy density requirements which we believe will be increasingly important in drones, robots, submersibles, mobility solutions and a whole host of emerging requirements. This latest patent covers ingenious methods to mass produce components for bespoke applications.”
The PCC spacer technology can be directly integrated into automated assembly lines for high-volume battery manufacturing. Its flexibility and efficiency make it ideal for drones and other applications requiring reliable thermal management and safety.
