Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method providing for detecting and responding to low voltage electrolysis within an electric vehicle battery detecting and responding to low voltage electrolysis within an electric vehicle battery enclosure to limit a possible hazard condition of battery enclosure. A microprocessor-implemented response system for low voltage electrolysis in a battery pack, includes an evaluator to monitor, using the microprocessor, a low voltage electrolysis flag indicative of a possible low voltage electrolysis of fluid within an enclosure that generates a flammable gas including a plurality of electrically-coupled battery modules storing energy for the battery pack; and a remediation system, coupled to the enclosure and responsive to the possible low voltage electrolysis when the evaluator detects a likelihood of the possible low voltage electrolysis, to decrease risks associated with the possible low voltage electrolysis when the remediation system is active.
