Abstract: The present study is an attempt to take an overview of the work done in thermal management of lithium-based batteries using heat pipe assisted air cooling, liquid cooling and PCM (Phase Change Material) based cooling. Heat pipe is an effective heat exchanger device to transfer the heat effectively and has proven its ability in many power electronics devices. Many researchers have done analysis using heat pipe for cooling of the lithium-based batteries both experimentally and numerically for electric vehicle application. In this study, various arrangements of heat pipes with lithium-based batteries are considered with different cooling methods and have discussed its effect on temperature distribution of the battery. Study shows that heat pipe assisted battery cooling is a viable option over battery heating problems.
