An Investigation into the Insertion of a Solid Mandrel into a Commercial Cylindrical Li-Ion Cell for Improved Thermal Performance by Joshua Ireland, James Marco, Truong Dinh, Ryan McGlen, Kevin Lynn

“…One of the conceptual methods for addressing this issue is the introduction of a metallic mandrel inserted axially through the cell’s central cavity, which has previously been shown to have a thermal benefit through simulation, thermal emulation, and experimentally through bespoke functional test cells. This work has demonstrated the potential ability to modify a commercial LGM50 21700 cell to accept a 2 mm solid metal mandrel whilst maintaining functionality, and then to quantify the thermal behaviour under representative real-world operating conditions. …”
