2. High voltage component location
The drive battery consists of lithium ion battery
that is small and lightweight and also has a
high energy density. The motor (electric motor
unit) and the air conditioner system are
powered by the drive battery. The drive battery
is housed in the metal case that has high
water-resistant properties, vibration-resistant
properties, dust-resistant properties and high
heat-resistant properties. The case is placed
under the floor. The battery has 10 of 8-cell
modules in which 8 battery cells are in series.
In total, the 80 battery cells are connected in
series. The battery generates a high-voltage of
300 V (nominal value). The maximum
operating voltage 336 V may be generated
depending on the remaining capacity of the
battery.
