Electric Vehicle Battery (EVB)

An electric vehicle battery (EVB) or traction battery is a rechargeable battery used for propulsion of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Traction batteries are used in forklift, electric Golf carts, riding floor scrubbers, electric motorcycles, and other electric vehicles. It is usually deep cycle battery. (the deep cycle battery is designed to be regularly discharged to most of its capacity.)

Electric vehicle batteries differ from starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries because they are designed to give power over sustained periods of time. Deep cycle batteries are used instead of SLI batteries for these applications. Traction batteries must be designed with a high ampere-hour capacity. Batteries for electric vehicles are characterized by their relatively high power-to-weight ratio, energy to weight ratio and energy density; smaller, lighter batteries reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve its performance. Compared to fossil fuels, all current battery technologies have much lower specific energy; and this often impacts the maximum all-electric range of the vehicles.

Batteries are usually the most expensive component of BEVs.
