Battery Management Systems
Most battery packs in the Energy Storage Market consist of multiple lithium ion cells packaged with an individual module, several of which are connected in a battery.  The modules within the battery are arranged in such a way as to maximize energy output while conserving space.  Efficient energy storage depends on the Battery Management System (BMS) to provide data on a real time basis to the controller.  The ideal BMS will measure all facets of battery performance; voltage, amperage / current, battery temperature and even charging history.  Amphenol Industrial Operations has a unique mix of products designed specifically for use within the battery modules and the BMS itself to include a variety of connector designs that will “blind-mate” as in a line replaceable module concept.  For the positive and negative post connections, we offer overmolded RADSOK® single pin jumpers as well as flexible and rigged busbar solutions that connect the poles in series or parallel circuits.  Circular GT receptacle pigtails connect the module’s positive and negative poles to overmolded harnesses on the outside of the battery case leading to the controller.

Energy Storage
Understanding and being very keenly aware of the effects of increased consumer energy usage on the grid, Amphenol Industrial Operations has designed and developed a wide range of connector and electrical assembly solutions for this emerging market.  As the industry matures and advancements are made in Energy Storage, the need for high power connection systems and associated cable assemblies will evolve.  Whether the energy storage method is achieved through banks of Lithium Ion battery packs, flywheels, thermal energy or hydroelectric systems, Amphenol Industrial Operations offers the right electrical interconnect solution for your application.

Hybrid Drive Systems
With a strong global push for a decreased dependency on foreign oil and fossil fuels, electric and hybrid drive trains are increasing in popularity.  Furthermore, heavy equipment OEMs are realizing the benefits of lowering the fuel dependency as well.  The more traditional vehicle fuel models are transitioning into alternative and renewable fuel solutions.  OEMs are discovering the power of offering their vehicles to sustainable conscious consumers.  These new electric and hybrid drive solutions demand high power connection and cabling systems.  Amphenol Industrial Operations is strategically positioned with a very broad range of connector and wiring solutions for this market.
