How Pressure Relief Valves Work in Cylindrical Cells
Pressure relief valves are critical safety components integrated into cylindrical lithium battery cells. They serve as the last line of defense against overpressure conditions that could otherwise lead to rupture, fire, or explosion.


1. What Is a Pressure Relief Valve?
A pressure relief valve (also known as a vent or safety valve) is a small metal disc located at the cell’s top cap. It is designed to open when the internal gas pressure inside the cell exceeds a safe threshold, allowing gases to escape safely.

Key Function: Prevent the cell casing from bursting by releasing excessive internal pressure caused by overcharging, overheating, or internal short-circuiting.
2. How It Works: Step-by-Step Process


Normal Operation: The internal pressure remains stable under 0.1–0.3 MPa.
Abnormal Condition: Due to heat, gas builds up and increases internal pressure.
Activation: Once pressure reaches 1.0–1.5 MPa (depending on cell type), the valve ruptures at a pre-weakened seam.
Pressure Release: Gas is vented through the top, preventing cell rupture or explosion.
Deactivation: The valve remains permanently open, rendering the cell inoperative but safe.

3. Common Causes of Pressure Buildup




Cause
Description
Result




Overcharging
Excessive voltage leads to gas generation and internal heat.
Valve activates to vent gases.


Internal Short Circuit
Defects or mechanical damage cause local heating.
Rapid pressure increase.


Thermal Runaway
Heat chain reaction causes uncontrolled temperature rise.
Critical safety event — valve must function properly.




4. Visual Representation: Pressure vs. Time

As shown above, under normal conditions, pressure remains flat. During overcharge or overheating, pressure spikes until the safety valve activates, releasing gas and stabilizing the cell.

5. Material and Design Variations

Material: Usually aluminum or nickel-plated steel.
Activation pressure: Calibrated between 1.0–1.5 MPa for standard 18650/21700 cells.
Design: Radial vent, burst disk, or scored cap types are common.

6. Importance for Battery Pack Safety
Warning: When designing lithium battery packs, ensure all cells are equipped with functional pressure relief valves and adequate venting channels in the pack casing to allow safe gas release.
Huawen New Power ensures all cylindrical cells used in our battery packs undergo strict safety validation, including valve integrity testing and overpressure simulations, to deliver reliable and safe lithium power solutions.

Optimizing Wire Harness Layout in Battery Packs
Best practices for safe, reliable, and manufacturable battery pack wiring — from Huawen New Power.

Published: 2025 • Category: Design & Manufacturing

Introduction
A well-designed wire harness improves safety, reduces electrical loss, simplifies assembly, and increases serviceability. In battery packs (UPS, DC-UPS, POE UPS, energy storage), harness layout affects thermal management, EMI, mechanical reliability, and production yield.

Design goals & constraints

Safety: prevent shorts, arcing and overheating.
Electrical performance: minimize voltage drop and resistive losses.
Mechanical reliability: avoid fatigue from vibration and flexing.
Thermal management: route to minimize heat concentration and allow cooling.
EMI control: reduce loop areas and separate noisy circuits.
Manufacturability/Serviceability: standardize connectors, color-coding and lengths.

Wire selection fundamentals


📏
Wire sizing diagram


Conductor size (AWG / mm²): sized for continuous current plus margin. Use voltage drop targets (e.g., <3% at max load).

Insulation: choose temperature rating ≥ expected max pack temp (e.g., 125°C for harsh environments).

Stranding & flexibility: finer stranding for flex zones (vibration areas).

Color & marking: consistent color code and printed ID for polarity and function.



Routing & separation rules

Keep high-current and signal/low-voltage wiring separate to avoid noise and heating sensitive components.
Short, direct paths for high-current runs to reduce resistance and heat; route away from cell tops.
Minimize loop area: run return and feed close together or use twisted pair to reduce EMI.
Avoid sharp bends; respect minimum bend radius (≥ 6× cable diameter).
Anchor & provide strain relief near connectors and moving parts.

Connectors, crimps & termination



Item
Guideline


Connector current rating
Choose families rated above expected peak; derate for temperature.


Crimp quality
Use quality crimp tools; inspect samples and apply pull tests.


Keying & polarity
Use keyed connectors to prevent misconnection in production and service.


Protection
Add boots, heat-shrink, and secondary locks where vibration exists.



Thermal considerations

Avoid routing high-current cables across cell tops or thermal hotspots.
Use thermal barriers or insulators between wires and hot components.
Dress wires to facilitate airflow if the pack uses convection cooling.

EMI & signal integrity

Separate PWM/inverter lines and DC sensor lines; where separation isn’t possible, use twisted pair or shielded cable.
Adopt a single-point chassis/return to avoid ground loops.
Terminate shields and connector shells to chassis per EMC best practices.

Mechanical protection & harness finishing

Protection
Use sleeving, corrugated tubing, or braided shields in abrasion zones. Heat-shrink boots and adhesive-lined tubing at terminations add insulation and strain relief.


Identification
Apply heat-shrink IDs, QR codes or printed labels for assembly and after-sales traceability.



Testability & service design

Add test points and quick-disconnects for BMS comms and cell balancing measurement.
Design harness for easy removal of BMS or modules without full disassembly.
Include polarity and continuity checks in production test flow.

Manufacturing & QC best practices

Design for automated crimping and harness fixtures to reduce labor and human error.
Use harness routers/jig fixtures to pre-form and inspect harnesses off-line.
Implement pull-test and crimp micrograph sampling for connector reliability.
Control inventory: only approved wire lots and connector batches with lot-tracking.

Common pitfalls & fixes



Pitfall
Fix


Positive bus near temperature sensor
Reroute or add thermal isolation


Long signal pigtails near PWM drivers
Shorten, twist or shield lines


Poorly constrained harness
Add clamps, anchors and strain relief



⚠️ Note: Always verify designs against applicable standards (IEC 62133, UL requirements) and consider transportation regulations for lithium battery assemblies.
Standards & regulatory checklist

IEC 62133 – battery safety
UL 2580 / UL 2054 – where applicable
EMC directives for target markets
UN transport regulations for lithium batteries

Conclusion
Optimizing the wire harness layout requires balancing electrical, mechanical and thermal needs along with manufacturability. Proper conductor sizing, routing discipline, strain relief, and testing procedures lead to safer, more reliable and easier-to-produce battery packs.

💡 Pro tip: Create modular sub-harnesses for pre-assembly — they streamline production and reduce assembly errors on the main line.
