Battery casing ablation

Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular throughout the world with the associated environmental benefits of lower emissions and better air quality. The batteries from these electric vehicles generate heat during recharging, which can shorten the life of the battery.  A CO2 laser can selectively ablate the plastic coating of the battery casing; this allows a heat sink to be attached directly to the metal in order to conduct excess heat away from the cell. Depending on the thickness and composition, CO2 lasers can ablate a range of plastics and adhesives in these coatings quickly and cleanly when compared with solvents.
