Using the network, a spatial and temporal thermal mapping of all pack interfaces was performed. In each interface, nine strategic locations were monitored by considering a three-by-three matrix, corresponding to the LiPBs top, middle and bottom zones. The batteries were subjected to charge and discharge cycles, where the charge was carried out at 1.0 C, whereas the discharge rates were 0.7 C and 1.4 C. The results show that in general, a thermal gradient is recognized from the top to the bottom, but is less prominent in the end-of-charge steps. The results also indicate the presence of hot spots between two of the three batteries, which were located near the positive tab collector. This occurs due to the higher current density of the lithium ions in this area. The presented FBG sensing network can be used to improve the thermal management of batteries by performing a spatiotemporal thermal mapping, as well as by identifying the zones which are more conducive to the possibility of the existence of hot spots, thereby preventing severe consequences such as thermal runaway and promoting their safety. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a spatial and temporal thermal mapping is reported for this specific application using a network of FBG sensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/batteries4040067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,10]],"date-time":"2018-12-10T03:36:41Z","timestamp":1544413001000},"page":"67","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Thermal Mapping of a Lithium Polymer Batteries Pack with FBGs Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9746-9152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micael","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and I3N, University of Aveiro, Campus de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0736-5849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tiago","family":"Paix\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and I3N, University of Aveiro, Campus de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1170-7530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta S.","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and I3N, University of Aveiro, Campus de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6002-1060","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o L.","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and I3N, University of Aveiro, Campus de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"409","article-title":"Safety of lithium-ion batteries","volume":"Volume 18","author":"Pistoia","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lithium-Ion Batteries: Advances and Applications"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"81","DOI":"10.1016\/S0378-7753(02)00488-3","article-title":"Abuse behavior of high-power, lithium-ion cells","volume":"113","author":"Spotnitz","year":"2003","journal-title":"J.
