Techwatch: Immersion-cooled batteries: light, small, fast-charging and powerful

High-performing, efficient battery technology is one of the keys to the success of any large-scale revolution in the
take up of electric motorcycles.

It’s not just in the chemistry of the cells themselves – the way they’re packaged and cooled is equally important. To this end, immersion cooling is emerging as a favourite for future performance EVs including motorcycles, with both Norton and Arc coming forward in the last couple of months to say they’re working on the technology, citing benefits in terms
of charging times, weight and size compared to conventional designs.

Keeping your cool

Immersion-cooled batteries might be relatively new but the idea of immersion-cooled electronics has been around for several years, particularly when it comes to powerful computer servers…
