Abstract

An information handling system includes a solid state battery having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface; a first pressure plate; a first elastomer layer between the first pressure plate and the first major surface of the solid state battery; a second pressure plate; and a second elastomer layer between the second pressure plate and the second major surface of the solid state battery, the first and second pressure plates configured to provide a compressive force to the solid state battery.

Claims (38)

1. An information handling system, comprising:

at least one solid state battery having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface;

a first pressure plate;

a first elastomer layer between the first pressure plate and the first major surface of the solid state battery;

a second pressure plate; and

a second elastomer layer between the second pressure plate and the second major surface of the solid state battery,

the first and second pressure plates each having a Young's Modulus of at least about 40 GPa.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the compressive force is not greater than about 1400 kPa.

3. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the compressive force is between about 275 kPa and about 700 kPa.

4. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the information handling system further includes an external case and the first pressure plate is incorporated into a portion of the external case.

5. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the information handling system further includes a palm rest area and the second internal plate provides structural support for the palm rest area.

6. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the information handling system further includes at least one liquid battery or at least one polymer battery.

7. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the information handling system further includes a keyboard and the second internal plate provides structural support for the keyboard.

8. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second pressure plates each have a specific stiffness of at least about 20 m 2 /s 2 .

9. An information handling system, comprising:

at least one solid state battery having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface;

a first pressure plate;

a first elastomer layer between the first pressure plate and the first major surface of the solid state battery;

a second pressure plate; and

a second elastomer layer between the second pressure plate and the second major surface of the solid state battery.

10. The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the information handling system further includes an external case and the first pressure plate is incorporated into a portion of the external case.

11. The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the information handling system further includes a palm rest area and the second internal plate provides structural support for the palm rest area.

12. The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the information handling system further includes at least one liquid battery or at least one polymer battery.

13. The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the information handling system further includes a keyboard and the second internal plate provides structural support for the keyboard.

14. An information handling system, comprising:

a first battery component including:

at least one solid state battery having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface;

a first pressure plate;

a first elastomer layer between the first pressure plate and the first major surface of the solid state battery;

a second pressure plate; and

a second elastomer layer between the second pressure plate and the second major surface of the solid state battery; and

a second battery component including an intercalation type battery.

15. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the compressive force is between about d140 kPa and about 1400 kPa.

16. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the compressive force is between about 275 kPa and about 700 kPa.

17. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the information handling system further includes an external case and the first pressure plate is incorporated into a portion of the external case.

18. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the information handling system further includes a palm rest area and the second internal plate provides structural support for the palm rest area.

19. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the intercalation type battery includes at least one liquid battery or at least one polymer battery.

20. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the information handling system further includes a keyboard and the second internal plate provides structural support for the keyboard.
