battery heating

A thermal energy battery is a physical structure used for the purpose of storing and releasing thermal energy—see also thermal energy storage. Such a thermal battery (a.k.a. TBat) allows energy available at one time to be temporarily stored and then released at another time. The basic principles involved in a thermal battery occur at the atomic level of matter, with energy being added to or taken from either a solid mass or a liquid volume which causes the substance's temperature to change. Some thermal batteries also involve causing a substance to transition thermally through a phase transition which causes even more energy to be stored and released due to the delta enthalpy of fusion or delta enthalpy of vaporization.

    Scheduled battery heating option on the app

    Does this work? i set it up yesterday to charge an hour before i went to work - i charge the car there so i thought a warm battery would take more charge from the last time i drove the car to when i was going to work it only dropped 1% when normally it would take a few more percentage off the...

    MG5 pre FL Battery Heating

    Has anyone tried battery preheating on pre-FL MG5 LR? I am about to go on a long journey next weekend, and I wondered if it would make my charge stops quicker, especially after all the media about dying Teslas in the USA, who couldn't charge in the extreme weather. I see there is an option under...

    Battery heating

    I don’t really understand what the function of “ battery heating” is ? I’ve read that if using a rapid charger ( in cold weather) you should preheat the battery to make it accept the charge easier/ quicker?? But would you not normally be using a rapid charge to top up on a journey when the...

    Battery Heating

    We own a ZS facelift TLR, iSmart suggests in the schedule I use the battery heater 1 hr before I use the car (which is great if you use the car each day at the same time, otherwise not!). My question is setting the heating, should the car be plugged in and charging or not as I have tried to set...

    Indications for using battery heating (now the weather is getting colder)

    Does the bug affect cabin pre-heat, battery pre-heat or both? I decided to do a battery pre-heat this morning. Started it 90 minutes before departure; app said it was on. Looked again 30 minutes before departure and app said it was off.

    Battery heating while driving.

    I noticed the option to heat batteries while driving. Apart from the obvious, it heats batteries! What are the real world uses for this please?

    Intelligent Battery heating

    Just want to tell you that I was told by MG services that although it is called " Battery Heating ". It actually does cooling as well as heating. So when it says "Ambient temperature low. Switch on Intelligent Battery Heating?" , the engine may be too hot and it wants to cool it. This would make...

    Ambient temperature low

    I sometimes get the message "Ambient Temperature low. Switch on intelligent Battery Heating". In winter it is understandable but I am getting it when the temperature outside is 27 C !!! Does anyone else get this and has any garage solved this problem?
