Road Vehicles - Electrically propelled vehicles - Swappable battery system applied to L-category vehicles
Abstract
This document describes main technical specifications to be considered for ensuring interoperability and compatibility of swappable battery systems for small batteries, both at vehicle level and charging station level. The document is intended to be generally applied to L-category vehicles, although some vehicles included in that category might not fit in terms of power or energy rating. This document focuses on the following aspects that are crucial towards interoperability and compatibility: - Electrical specifications - Mechanical specifications - Connector specifications - BMS and communication protocols - Safety and Security (including cybersecurity) The document addresses: - Applications with the following numbers and configuration of battery packs: • single use • maximum 2 in series (2S1P) • maximum 1 in series - 6 in parallel (1S6P) • maximum 2 in series - 2 in parallel (2S2P) - Specifications at battery pack level - Specifications at battery-vehicle interface - Specification at battery-charging station interface - Specification at charging station. Although specifications at battery system level and charging station level could be addressed within this document, existing standards such as IEC 62840-1, IEC 62840-3 and EN 50604-1 are considered. In Figure 1 an example of battery swapping environment is shown, including electric scooter, swappable battery, charging station and external server interface Figure 1. Battery swapping environment Interoperability among charging stations and operators is out of scope of this document.
