Abstract
Battery casing is a vital part of the electrical vehicles. The material used in it plays an important role in deciding the safety of the vehicle. This chapter refers to the polymer composites, which gives a good replacement for the currently used materials. The chapter explains the concept of battery pack along with its safety issues. It also explores various features and characteristics behind the vitality of polymer composites. The usage of polymer composites as an energy storage gives this material an upper hand.
