Hybrid electric car battery technology and plug-in hybrid are made differently. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid are types of electric car technology.
Hybrid electric car technology and plug-in hybrid have a series of batteries (battery packs) that are used as electric power storage components.
Both have batteries, these two types of technology use different types of batteries. Hybrid cars mostly use nickel-based batteries, while plug-in hybrids already use lithium-ion types.
In hybrid cars, nickel batteries are used because of the small power requirements. To maintain compact construction and light weight, the size of the embedded battery is not large.
As well as the battery charging system comes from internal, namely the engine generator and regenerative braking.
The generated electric voltage is not that high, and the need for electrical energy in a hybrid car is not large.
When compared to a plug-in hybrid car, the car has internal charging plus external charging. Because the capacity of the battery that is owned is greater with the need for charging which must also be large and fast.
Charging the external battery voltage is high, the temperature generates heat. That’s why lithium-ion batteries are needed to accommodate the heat resistance of external battery charging.
The plug-in hybrid also allows the car to run with long-distance electric energy, so it requires a large capacity and power discharge obtained from lithium-ion.
