Data Sheet: Increase Safety of Li-Ion Batteries for EVs
Data Sheets, 1.73 MB
Preventing pressure buildups within Li-Ion packs is essential to enhance battery system safety, reliability and longevity. GORE® Automotive Vents’ continuous bidirectional airflow effectively equalizes pressures while protecting battery packs against contaminant ingress.
Overview
Today’s batteries face demands for increasing performance, reliability and longevity. That’s true for Li-Ion technologies in EVs or Battery Management Systems, as well as for EFB (Lead-Acid) batteries.
GORE Membrane technologies enable compact, lightweight solutions for all these applications.
SUSTAINED PROTECTION FOR ENHANCED LI-ION PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY
GORE® PolyVents for snap-fit installation reliably protect EV battery packs and Battery Management Systems, and offer added benefits:
- A worry-free venting solution based on total quality control and our integrated design that protects the membrane
- Easy integration without additional parts or complicated housing designs, in either plastic or metal enclosures
- Easy installation in any process: manual, semi-automated or high-volume automated
- Durable protection against liquids, dust, dirt, salts and corrosive automotive fluids

REDUCE ELECTROLYTE LOSS TO IMPROVE THE DURABILITY AND LIFETIME OF EFB BATTERIES
Gore’s small Catalytic Device effectively recombines hydrogen and oxygen, reducing electrolyte loss and extending battery life.
Product Mechanism
GORE® Catalytic Device for Lead Acid Batteries - Key features & benefits
- Significant water loss reduction to EN 50342-1 W5 level which maintains electrolyte amounts
- Improved DCA (Dynamic Charge Acceptance) by enabling more additives to be added
- Extends battery life by maintaining electrolyte’s specific gravity
- Enhances durability with broad temperature range (-30 ºC ~ +75 ºC)
- Snap-fit mounting for easy integration
- Potentially supports sustainability with reduced CO2 emission from battery manufacturing and recycled lead. (based on initial screening LCA)
