Abstract: The present invention relates to a battery unit (14) comprising six battery unit faces (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40). The battery unit (14) has a shape that can be inscribed in an imaginary cube having six cube faces such that each battery unit face (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40) forms part of a corresponding imaginary cube face, wherein a first battery unit face pair of the battery unit (14) comprises a first battery unit face (30) and a second battery unit face (32). The first battery unit face (30) comprises a first set of anode terminals (42) and a first set of cathode terminals (44), the second battery unit face (32) comprising a second set of anode terminals (46) and a second set of cathode terminals (48).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of managing an energy storage system (ESS) of a vehicle, wherein the energy storage system has a beginning of life (BOL). The vehicle has at least a first application and a second application, and the energy storage system has a first end of life (EOL1) for the first application and a second end of life (EOL2) for the second application. Further, the ESS has a first lifetime between the BOL and the EOL and a second lifetime between the BOL and the EOL2. The method comprises the steps of: a) determining energy and/or power requirement for the vehicle being in the first application; b) defining energy and/or power of the energy storage system at the beginning of life (BOL) of the energy storage system of the vehicle; c) determining a first state of health value SOH1 at the first end of life (EOL1) of the energy storage system of the vehicle being in the first application; d) determining energy and/or power requirement for the vehicle being in the second application; e) determining a second state of health value SOH2 at the second end of life (EOL2) of the energy storage system if the vehicle is used in the second application.

Abstract: A method is provided for optimizing the operating lifetime of an energy storage system including a battery pack with a plurality of battery cells. The method includes: measuring the temperature of the battery pack by means of a sensor unit; and measuring at least one further parameter representing an indication of the operating lifetime of the battery pack. Furthermore, the method includes the steps of: detecting whether the parameter reaches a predetermined threshold value indicating that the battery pack is in a condition close to an end of its expected operating lifetime; and, in the event that the threshold value is reached, initiating heating of the battery pack, thereby increasing the temperature of the battery pack to a predetermined value so as to prolong the operating lifetime of the battery pack. A system for optimizing the operating lifetime of an energy storage system is also provided.
