Flexible Thin Film Heaters in Battery & Energy Storage Systems

Why Batteries Need Thermal Management

Batteries, particularly lithium-ion, are highly sensitive to temperature. Performance, charging efficiency, and safety can all be compromised when batteries operate outside their optimal temperature range (typically 15°C to 45°C).
In cold climates, low temperatures can reduce battery output, slow charging rates, and increase internal resistance-potentially causing long-term degradation or failure.

This is where flexible thin film heaters provide an effective solution.

What Is a Flexible Thin Film Heater?

A flexible thin film heater is an ultra-thin, lightweight heating element built using materials like polyimide (Kapton®) or polyester. These heaters can be precisely engineered to provide low-wattage, uniform heating across battery surfaces or enclosures, ensuring temperature control without taking up significant space or weight.

Key Applications in Battery & Energy Storage:

Electric Vehicles (EVs):

Pre-heating battery packs before operation or charging

Maintaining temperature during fast-charging cycles

Warming battery compartments to enhance range in cold weather

Stationary Energy Storage Systems (ESS):

Climate management for lithium-ion or LFP batteries in solar and wind systems

Temperature stabilization in outdoor or unconditioned environments

Drones & Robotics:

Lightweight heating for small battery modules

Ensuring consistent voltage and flight performance in low temperatures

Portable Electronics & Power Banks:

Maintaining safe charging conditions

Preventing battery freeze in outdoor or winter-use devices

Benefits of Using Flexible Thin Film Heaters:

Space-Saving Design: Ultra-thin and flexible, ideal for compact battery compartments

Energy Efficient: Low power consumption with fast thermal response

Customizable: Tailored shapes, voltages, and watt densities for specific battery designs

Safe & Reliable: Uniform heating prevents hot spots, reducing the risk of thermal runaway

Durable: Resistant to chemicals, vibration, and moisture
