Battery pack power density and energy density

Submitted by reikiman on Mon, 10/12/2009 - 10:50

Energy Density and Power Density are two ways to measure the speed and range you can get with a given vehicle. Each vehicle has a maximum weight it can carry, and a maximum volume or size it can carry. Together those form a budget into which you fit the people, cargo, drive train, electronics, and battery pack.
