EV Battery Box Design Needs EMI Shielding and Sealing
Redesigning an EV battery box because of a gasket problem can be difficult and expensive. It’s better to account for EV battery box sealing up-front than to design the case and discover that a gasket won’t fit, or that a chosen material wasn’t the best selection. Along with low-temperature flexibility and high-temperature resistance, EV battery […]
