EBH - Easy Battery Handling
The project Easy Battery Handling - EBH has been carried out in our auspicial and completedfor Devantini Corporation, a development company in Halmstad with its main concern inenvironmental friendly innovations.EBH has solved one of many technical challenges in one of Devantini corporation?s largerprojects. This main project involves the development of an electric powered formula racingcar. The part of this car that involved EBH was the battery handling to guarantee safe andquick battery exchanges during pit-stops.The solution became an entire battery module, hanging on the side of the car on two spearspointing out from the car. The batteries are exchanged by a specially designed trolley that isinserted under the battery module. To secure the batteries whilst driving they are also securedwith a locking device that is quick and simple to unlock when it is time to exchange thebatteries.The project resulted in a battery handling system that in comparison to already existingsolutions reduce the burden on the mechanics and performs an exchange of batteries in lessthan half the time.
