Abstract
The battery thermal management device includes a thermally conductive structure and a thermoelectric module. The thermally conductive structure is coupleable to a battery and operable to provide a thermal path between the battery and the thermoelectric module. The thermoelectric module is operable to transfer heat between itself and the thermally conductive structure thereby maintaining temperature of the battery within a desired range. Such a device can allow battery temperature management in an industrial deployment without requiring use of a battery enclosure and active cooling mechanisms.
