Abstract

In this study, the experiment result and numerical analysis on temperature distribution of a secondary battery module for high temperature operation type were compared. Because experimental battery has been in danger of explosions, experiment on temperature distribution was carried out using dummy batteries. Study on NAS battery module, which is secondary battery of high temperature operation type, is as follows ; Test result showed that battery's temperature is in steady state uniformly after 8 hours in each section. It is similar to experimental result for temperature distribution from the result of numerical analysis, and it takes about 8.5 hours to the $300^{\circ}C$.
